I had severe rectum acid burning for years. After tests at University of Michigan they asked if I had any severe surgery in my background. I did have surgery for a twisted stomach and four follow on surgeries to replace mesh patches over the incision that didn't work. They concluded that the anesthesia used in surgery processes may have killed some of the good bacteria in my digestive system. They recommended antibiotic treatment to kill all bacteria in my system. That treatment has resulted in total elimination of acidity around my anus and butt crack. It took a couple of months for the digestive process to really get back into functioning normally, but the antibiotic treatment was successful. I am completely relieved of any symptoms of acidity either stomach or digestive track and anal orifice. My diet has been altered slightly by primarily eliminating nuts and some melons. I'm going to try them again now as I'm not having any digestive problems. The entire process took about three months to completely feel normal again as the good bacteria have to have time to be reintroduced and recover their numbers and strength it seems.

I stopped taking Advil, but it didn't help. Strangely, today I sat on the stool but wasn't able to have a BM. When I got up, I had some mild itching. How can this be explained?

I have the same problem and can say with certainty that juices that are store bought make my anus bleed after just a few days of drinking. .freshly squeezed juice does not have anly affect. Also hot spicy foods cause me to have hemorrodes. Hope this helps

I am fairly positive that there are five possible causes of a burning stool.
1. A large amount of bile (which is often caused by eating a lot of food high in fats and/or protein then no/low fat foods).
2. Iron. Ferrous/ reduced iron is added to many foods. ... Although I am not a doctor, I do believe that milk (although it first causes discomfort) safely removes the excess iron from the intestines because it does not react with vitamin C, removing the possibility of absorbing too much iron after eating citrus fruit.
3. Soap that is seriously abrasive or soap that does not completely wash off skin.
4. Things used to wipe butt can leave residue. Lint is a skin irritant... and damp toilet paper is a perfect environment for cultivating fungi and bacteria.
5. Gritty foods that don't break down- even a small amount of coffee grounds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, or pepper can be very difficult to wipe off.

Oh yeah, it's certain foods. No doubt. I over eat cashews when I have them, I over eat potato chips when I have them, and I overeat peanut butter. Those are the three that I'll give it to me

Mild itching may be related to acidity building up in the bowel system. If the bowel doesn't move digested food properly, it can build up excess acid which then flows minutely out of the anus opening and burns the surrounding tissue causing the itching sensation. I've experienced it many times now. Some foods help this process by speeding or slowing down the process. Reactions to certain types of sugars, which can not be digested by your system, can also cause excess gas which can cause the bowel to move faster and not neutralize all of the available acid up before elimination. Melons, berries, nuts, milk all have different types of sugars which everyone may not be able to digest properly or completely. Tremendous and almost continuous gas production is the most relevant indication that what you're eating may not be digested by some of your bowel bacteria. There are good and bad organisms in your bowel. You may want to explore the possiblity of using a powerful antibiotic to kill everything and start all over again. I did that and it worked extremely well.. I now have no symptomatic indication of excess acid in my system.

Yes, I am also a sufferer. I agree with the comment about bile and acid from the stomach burning the rectum. I find that when this happens the ONLY way to live with the pain is completely smother vaseline on the outside and inside (1/2 an inch) of the rectum (rub it around to ensure that you have applied it to all the tissue). It will protect the sensitive tissue from the acid. This was recommended to me by a gastroenterologist, a pediatrician, and a colon/rectal surgeon. It is the only way I survive. Best to do at night before bed, by morning, you will usually be like new and a hot shower will wash away the oiliness of the vaseline so as not to stain your pants in an embarrassing way. If you are experiencing this on a frequent basis, you likely have an underlying condition (Celiacs, Ulcerative Colitus, Chrohns, IBS, Pylori, Candida, or some other deal that you should see a doctor for). I have Celiac disease and am lactose intolerant. For me the one that usually triggers this is lactose but thats just me. One thing that helps a bit is to slow down digestion (I take little bits of immodium pills as needed). Take care in consuming too much immodium as it is linked with other problems (some very serious in nature). Immodium belongs to opiods group and there are other ways of slowing down intestinal motility (speed of digestion) such as calcium pills.

I have a problem with cheese in the US also. When I travel to Mexico I have no issues with it.

This makes perfect sense. Because it is only when I have loose bowels that I have this problem. And it makes sense that whatever I ate was passed along to quickly not digested with the proper process and passed out of the body to quickly therefore the stomach acids causing the itching and irritation. Wow that makes a lot of sense. Thanks

I absolutely think you have nailed it . That’s the conclusion I have iv e too, ‘acid’ burning, I have researched extensively, been to my doctor who took blood , nothing wrong there, prescribed steroid suppositories , they didn’t work. So aside from cortisone there’s nothing in my view a doctor can do as I believe it to be food passing through too fast. And acid damage occurs in the rectum.
