Get some fragrance-free wipes. Stop using toilet tissue. Get something with lidocaine from the doc. Soak your butt.

I am still in my 'maybe someday if the insurance and /or money situation(s) improve' stage of pre-op. But I have been slowly(very slowly and stubbornly) figuring out what foods don't agree with me....first went gluten, then went dairy, then went rice and corn. Last month I finally realized(admitted) that cashews and I do not get along....loose stools, itching , burning, a cutting type pain and a sideways stabbing with a blunt instrument(like a baseball bat) type pain..Tucks and ointments did nothing(TMI..I know)...the stabbing pain got so bad at one point I thought about going to the hospital.
Apparently the cashew shell contains something called urushiol which is related to poison oak/ivy...supposedly the substance is removed during processing....whether it is removed or not..I am still reacting badly to them....the symptoms start half a day after I eat the first cashew and subside about 2 days after I eat the last cashew....and I tested it 3 times just to be sure...stupid I know, but I really didn't want to believe it....seriously how many foods can I lose in 2 years?!?!?
Thanks for letting me know...illl keep this in mind and stay away from the cashews...lol.

Pampers - Sensitive Wipes. They have them in regular and "thick". They don't feel like you're wiping with sand paper. Hypoallergenic etc.
Every bathroom in my home has them - write with a sharpie DO NOT FLUSH on the plastic box. (Your house visitors will thank you) :)
To this day, I even carry around some in a small sandwich baggie in my purse.
Do you dry after you use them? I hate that wet feeling!

Do you go wet or do you dry yourself afterward?

What I did to combat mine (I lovingly called it Fire Ass):
1 - Upped my fiber - took a supplement every day. Sounds weird, but it was my surgeon's recommendation, and it worked.
2 - Soak in Epsom Salts - as hot as you can get the water to be without burning yourself.
3 - I'll echo the wet wipes.
4 - If you have a removable shower head, do a thorough cleaning every time you take a shower.
5 - I carried around Cooling Gel (prep H) for years.
6 - My doctor prescribed a medicine called Proctofoam - that was very helpful.
7 - Sent my husband to the Adult Store for Anal Eze. Oh was he happy about it LOL. But when things got really bad, that numbing was well worth his trouble :)
Good luck. I know it's horribly painful.
