Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think b/c my diseased area is the sigmoid-rectum along w/ fistula issues - just having a foreign object in there really irritated it. I've been using some essential oils, extra virgin coc oil and manuka honey and those things seem to be helping soothe it. Thanks for the caution regarding the epsom salts - I'd not thought of that.TashaSubject: Re:OT (sorta) - Post-ColonoscopyTo: BTVC-SCD Date: Saturday, June 12, 2010, 2:52 PM Well, I made it through the colonoscopy and am awaiting the results, and plans for moving forward. Just wondering if following the test anyone else had a sore/irritated bum? I'm thinking soaking in a epsom bath might help? I did, in spite of using up about a whole jar of Vaseline on prep day! If it were me I'd try Epsom salts cautiously, seems like the salts part might irritate further. Maybe just nice warm water if that's too strong?
