Hello, I'm not sure if I have ever asked this, but do any of you experience burning when having a BM. It's just in the lower part, so I guess it would just be the rectum. I thought it was just when I ate something somewhat spicy, but it happens almost everytime...I'm not flaring at the time...It just really burns and makes my eyes water...Is it just irritation or is that normal for UC'ers?

Oh yes, normal for most UCers to experience who have active inflammation, hemorrhoids, or fissures or just from wiping a lot. How many times are you going during the day?

You could ask the doctor to add rectal meds ... either the 5ASA suppositories (1000mg) or the retention enemas to help heal the rectum.

~Probiotic 2 (Natural Factors Protec) + 1 (Primadophilus Reuteri) at bedtime

My doc's logic.. "TREAT (FROM)BOTH ENDS" worth it !!!

This happens to me a lot, too! Almost every time. I still had some mild inflammation in my rectum at my last c-scope, so I figured the burning feeling came from still being inflamed. Like quincy said, it could be hemorrhoids or an anal fissure.

Try using some sort of barrier cream, like A&D ointment or Desitin cream. This will protect your delicate skin from the irritation and help ease the pain while you heal. Hope it's better soon.

I refer to this phenomonon as "lava poo"

Left-sided UC diagnosed 2001. Taking Colazal and Imuran, Remicade infusions and moving into remission. Finally off steroids after four years!

Now in remission for almost two years. Remicade has been my wonder drug.
