Hello, I'm back with another and final answer to the problem for all of you.
Whatever the final problem the main cause is, ready for this, Yeast.
Everyone is suffering from something that is similar, yet the complications fog the main problem.
If you in fact want to prove this, it's quite simple. Just eliminate yeast (mainly bread, beer, grains, pasta, fermented stuff, even fruit from your diet. Basically just eat meats and veggies.
You will see the problem either stops, OR decreases within 48 hours.
For whatever reason you wound up with what you have (due to meds, drinking, or just plain stress) You now have a body wide yeast infection. No need for fancy names because that's what it is.
Diet is a tough thing to control however.. But, if you just cut out bread alone, you will see that things improve. They will improve much faster if you cut out all the yeast feeding items including sugars. In my reading it appears it can take a half of year for the body to repair the imbalance however I think that will vary on any individual.
In my case, just taking bread out of the diet stopped the leak and ichy feeling. Further eliminations cause my joints to no longer hurt and head to clear up.
Try it, you will be cured. You don't need to do anything other than to eliminate the foods feeding the yeast. It's that simple.
I hope this final answer helps all those that have suffered for so long. Share it and spread the word.
Man did not eat bread. It was made to reduce famine. Man hunted meat and man foraged. Just because some crackpot came up with a food pyramid don't make it right. Truth is, it's there so people don't starve. Bread is a cheap filler to feed an overpopulated world. Don't get me wrong, it works for most people but maybe all too well. I don't see to many people I can consider may be starving these days thanks to that bread.
Many years ago I use to see some fish in a stream by a vacation spot I went to. I asked a guy that lived in the area if you can eat the fish and his reply was "you won't want to eat those fish". I asked him why and he replied ; "Everyone feeds them bread all day and they get fat, but they taste horrible, you certainly do not want to eat them". I never forgot that.
In my case, the bread is replaced with healthier food, thus no more issues. Not a single doctor suggested this and I have to ask myself, perhaps it would put them out of business....
Boy, can I relate to all of you. This all started when I moved into this home. One week later, I am burning like &*%^%* in the anal area. Tried everything drug store had to offer. Nada. I saw a colon and rectal doctor and I was raw there. She places soem purlpe ointment on the area to make me feel better. I jumped off the table and cried in pain. She had to quickly wipe it off. I was not leaking then. She did an MRI and it showed a small sacral cyst. She wanted to remove this by General Anesthesia and I vetored this as I would want other opinions. She loooked young and just out of school. She did give me soem Align to take and I bought more. About 6 months ago, I started to feel a leak when I lift things or after a BM. This has a strange odor to it and not that of a standard stool smell. Now, I have been on antibiotics for 3-4 years for dental problems. Not sure if this is an uncontrolled Yeast problem. The vaginal area can burn after urinating. I do not wish to go back to any colon doctor at this time. Too embarrassing with no answers. I wish there was a magic potion we all can take. I hate the smell.
Damn Behindit, I've following your posts for a while and I was waiting to see if banding cured this for you.Been a while since I posted last, but nothing new for me. I continue to drink the metamucil 2x a day which helps. Still have small amount of leakage and burning in the anus area.
Now I take garlic in the morning 2 days ago some improvement, hope this problem disappear
Im 15 years old and ive had this for about 3 weeks i am now really scared that ill have this for the rest of my life and im scared to tell my doctor i really need help i take gym class in the morning... and i usually use the restroom before i go to school. and it really gets leaking during physical activeness please give me advice
Finally found the answer and it is rather simple. The underlying problem is hemmorhoids. They prevent the sphincter from completely closing giving rise to moisture conditions which causes fungus and bacteria and even leakage. I also thing the fungus inflames the hemmorhoid itself giving rise to more intense itching. You need to have hemmorhoids removed or you will continue to suffer to some degree. The banding procedure is pretty simple. Also, use triple paste, extra soft toilet paper and coconut oil to relieve the symptoms in the meantime. Anything that reduces infection (e.g., cranberry or garlic) is also helpful. If you don't have internal or external hemmorhoids you have something different.
How are you positive that this is the problem? I think someone wrote that they had their hemorrhoids removed and it didn't solve it. Also, it is hard to press the doctors to remove the hemorrhoids because most will not prescribe an operation unless it is urgent. I've already tried with a couple of doctors already.
Jonathan, sorry we have not found a solution for this. Your only temporary solution is to take metamucil. But consult with your doctor since you are only 15 before using it. I started getting these leaky problems since I was 21 and 6 years later, it is still ongoing. :[
I'm a 52 year old female and have been dealing with this for over a year. I went to my Gastrologist because I also have IBD. Multiple test as all of you and no issue. 7 months ago I was diagnosed with autoimmune. I was placed on steroids for 3 months and the leakage stopped. Now I have been off for 2 weeks and it is back. Just wondering why the steroids worked?, they were treating the pain from the autoimmune. My guess is that for some reason we have swelling in our intestinal track and the steroids reduces swelling. Just a guess I'm as frustrated as all of you.
I wish I knew, as I have the same problem, and it started after a round of anti bionics. The only relief that I have found is a small 8 or 10 oz of tap water enema and it washes me out so I am not leaking. I am tired of doing this and was in hopes that you may have found out what the problem was. Thank you
