I had tried pretty much all the other types but these seem to work the best and they are flushible. Buy the non-scented variety. They are PH balanced and work very well to kill the acid when using. They also seem to be the wettest wipes to buy. This is the first step, remove any acid from the area. Pat your butt dry with a towel and then apply baby powder. This step helps get rid of moisture. Moisture is just as much to blame for the burn. For tissue to heal, it wants to be dry. Just like dealing with a babie's diaper rash. Since we are adults, we tend to forget how to deal with our own trouble. From my experience, do this every time until things get better. Around 4-5 days. This has to be your ritual until it gets better. Avoid the topicals for a little while. They help only when tissue is a little bit raw. Prilosec helped me get my acid level down until I started to figure out my diet. Sugars and fats tend to cause more burn. High acid foods will to. Any type of melon is awsome to eat and easy to digest. Another trick of mine is to eat alot of carbs. Chunky soup and crackers worked will with me as does hamburger helper with lots of bread and also tombstone pizza(pizzaria type tends to burn, too much sauce). Just eat and learn and figure out cause an effect with your body. Drink plenty of water, about 6oz. very often, but only drink when thirsty. This tends to force your new system to absorb mor fluid in you pouch. It took my body 9 months before things stablized with absorption. and another 9 to get my diet dialed in. Keep your salt and sugar levels up, that will help you feel better. Natural sugars from things like friut and honey are the easiest for your body.

What are your diet tricks?  Do you now do the same ritual  after each bowel movement?  I am doing something of the same except have never used powder or Kandoo wipes.  I do the ritual of first wet TP and then a wipe with aloe, then damp baby wash cloth to clean off the wipe wet blotting with all of these.  Then I use Vaseline or Desitin. If it is not horribly bad I will use Calmoseptine.  Please feel free to share any info.  Thanks. Joy Dennis, any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated.
