The itch from hell

For the last several hours I have been trying to get myself out of the apartment and to my fitness center to do some treadmill. But I cannot leave because this anal itch is making me want to jump out the window. And everytime I finish a really tiny bm, get cleaned up, hands washed, etc., along comes another little bit of stool. It's a ever ending cycle.

It seems that just a couple of days ago I was doing more sizable bm's and had the feeling I could empty my entire pouch in 2 goes, but the amounts I can do yesterday and today are small, like 4 goes to one total poop. And the itch, really nasty, plus I am never really emptying, there is always more in there. I don't know what to do or if increasing the psyllium again would help.

I have been taking immodium this whole time. The bm's I am having are more or less firm. Haven't had liquid since before the Dr. gave me the immodium in the hospital.
Yes, and using the diaper cream....
regardless of all that, itch.... and multiple minnies....

Well stricture is a possiblitiy. I will get checked on Wednesday. Am really not not not not looking forward to having a finger in there.

Byebye said it got fixed with one or two digital dilatins in the doctor's office. I hope it will not hurt but the digital exam hurt before takedown so I will have to bite the bullet.

According to ByebyeUC, this kind of stricture is not a big deal to treat and will be gone with a couple of digital dilations. I also read that somewhere, so I'm not too worried about it.

I hope it all gets resolved for you Rosemary, because the last weeks have really been very trying, I know.

Thanks B'D. I feel so horrid I am cancelling any testing for Thurs. I could not stand air being blown into my small intestine for the ileoscopy. I am like a 9 month pregnancy bloat right now and stool is passing just fine. Yesterday I was not bad at all bloat wise. Today I had sugar and yesterday I did not. My stoma is outputting fine today. I am beginning to think if any mechanical thing there it would not be. BUT i still had to get the CT done to prove that out as much as can from an image test. Really too bad the surgeon got so mad about that. I was scared, I had 3 food blockages in a row and am supposed to head off on vacation far away, what would he have done if in my shoes? I did have those food blockages March 11.16,27 but not since. I have NO clue what is going on. I am going to get the results of the celiac test. I also ordered the probiotic the GI suggested. I think I got derailed with all the politics and at this point just need a total break from this. I plan to avoid sugar tomorrow for sure as I cannot stand feeling like this. This could be something as simple as an overwhelming yeast infection. I know I have a LOT of white coating on my tongue and feel horrid all around though no vomitting or anything. Have no clue what is going on. Just going to get a LOT of sleep. Avoid sugar, wheat, etc, etc. Will update if anything gets figured out or if my celiac test is positive. Today I ate real food that thickened and it came out just fine. So confused and so tired.

Glad your kind of stricture with your arrangement can be easily fixed. Rosemary

     Oh how well I remember my thrush days . NOT pleasant at all.  There are lozenges you can use...Nystatin.  They don't taste the best, but do the trick to get rid of that nasty thrush.
