APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  10/10/2008: Christine from New York City, NY writes: "ACV cured my itchy butt the other day. I get only get it when I eat out at a restaurant. Last weekend I bought some sushi at the grocery store and the next morning woke up with a raging itch. I decided to hold a cotton ball soaked in ACV to the area. It burned like nobody's business for about 5 seconds, and I hopped around screaming "ow ow ow!" My boyfriend heard my shreks and came running. He laughed and told me I was crazy to put acv "down there". But my crazy-making itch disappear immediately, never to return.

I found the situation especially hilarious because my boyfriend has the itchy butt syndrome much more than I (anything with ginger triggers it) and actually went online and bought a homemade spray made of black tea and some other ingredients from someone in California who had great testimonials on her website (with a money back guarantee if the spray wasn't a complete success). It didn't do a darn thing even though he kept at it for weeks and so he sent back the testimonial form asking for a refund. Ha hah. Dorky!! Of course the request was ignored. So everyone, don't spend money on your itchy butt. A one time apple cider vinegar dunk will take care of the itch. If it comes back, you may have pinworms. eeeeWwwww"

(for parasitic infection) I asked my doc. for some and I took it once every 10 days for two months. No more itchy butt."

COLLOIDAL OATMEAL, MINERAL OIL

1 YEA   

[YEA]  12/01/2008: Paul from Uxbridge, MA writes: "Colloidal Oatmeal & Mineral Oil (Remedy):

I had written a post about how olive oil temporarily relieved this nagging anal itch i've had for months. The olive oil didn't do anything long term but one day I decided to take a bath w/ all natural aveeno bath powder (can be bought at walmart, cvs, etc) and mineral oil (the laxative). This remedy is probably the most soothing for the itch. The Aveeno Bath powder has colloidal oatmeal which is great for skin irritation. The mineral oil works overtime as it stays on the skin after the bath. What I do is mix 4 table spoons of mineral oil w/ one packet of colloidal oatmeal powder into a warm bath. I usually let it soak for 1/2 hour. It takes a few days to truly feel the difference but I can say with confidence that my irritated tush is healed. On a side note, I no longer use regular toilet paper which was the culprit for causing the itch. I switched to moist wipes that contain no alcohol and has Aloe Vera and Vitamin E."

GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT

1 YEA   

[YEA]  03/21/2007: Lorenzo (golorenzo@gmail.com) from Portland, OR writes: "I had a very bad case of Candida last winter. It was extremely harsh. My crotch and butt were itchy and sometimes burned, my mood was agitated, I was suffering from insomnia. To finally get rid of the ailment, I went on a sugar-free diet and took some medication from my doctor. This was great. It killed all the candida within days. My problem then became a severe flu, as my body was not getting rid of the dead candida fast enough. My body was basically experiencing toxic shock. I took tons of fiber, drank gallons of water over several days. This finally made me feel better. Now, I just take Grapefruit seed extract in water every few days to keep the candida at bay. It is very effective at eliminating candida after it has set in as well, but you should take a diuretic to get the dead candida out of you. For candida, take 5-6 drops of GSE in 20oz of water. Drink in one sitting. Do this once each day for 3 days. May cause heartburn. If so, water down the dosage or use fewer drops (3-4)."

OLIVE OIL

1 WORKED TEMPORARILY   

[WORKED TEMPORARILY]  11/09/2008: Paul from Uxbridge, MA writes: "Suffering from anal itch. For the past four months I have been suffering from this nagging itch that I can't get rid of no matter what I try. I have made significant changes in my diet (no more sugar, very little caffeine), tried every medication, it even got to the point where I used a suppository because my rectum was itching. I no longer wipe the area, instead I use alcohol free wipes and pat the area. Nothing has worked. I have been to my physician twice and he prescribed two different topical creams that haven't worked. I find myself going on the internet on a daily basis to get rid of this, and had to leave work early this week b/c of the itch. My doctor and I have ruled out pinworms, anal fissures and hemoroids. I personally think its just broken skin that has been irritated further from all the creams and medicine i have been putting on it. The past few days I have been applying refrigerated extra virgin olive oil to the area. It has a soothing feel to it and the itch goes away for a little while. The olive oil seems to absorb very quickly so it doesn't feel greasy. We shall see what happens, but I refuse to get back on medications for this because they only seemed to make it worse."

11/10/2008: Janis from Renton, US. replies: "I had an awful anal itch around the age of 50 and at that same age I found out that I had colon polps. After I had a colonoscopy and had 2 polyps removed, I never had another anal itch. It may be just a coincidence or the polyps may have caused the itch somehow. Anyway, if you have reached age 50 or over or if colon polyps run in your family, you may need to get a colonoscopy at a younger age, if you are younger than 50.When I had the anal itch it was constant and I didn't have hemrhoids either. Good luck. I hope you can
get the cause of the itch figured out."

READER COMMENTS

12/18/2008: Jeannie from NYC, NY writes: "I have been suffering since last January. All of a sudden, if I drink coffee I have diarrhea and really harsh burning and itching of the butt. (I have been drinking coffee since I was a child). I stopped coffee and started drinking tea. That was OK for a few months now I can't have more than 2 cups of tea or it starts hurting. Now, tomato sauce, veggie burgers, a glass of wine - anything with high fiber! I went to a gastrointerologist who suggested I get a colonoscopy. Afterwards he said there was nothing wrong except that I had some diverticulitis in my upper left colon. I stopped all the foods that irritate me. Last night I had a veggie burder (I haven't had one in about six months so I thought I'd give it a try). My butt itched all morning and when I went into the bathroom, my butt had "leaked" and there was a mess in my pants. I need to tell you that I am in very good physical condition. I eat healthy food, exercise, never smoked or drank (an occasional glass of wine) - I am mortified writing this message. has anyone else had a similar thing happen and what was diagnosis. Thanks for your help."

12/19/2008: M from Sao Paulo, Brazil replies: "I had a similar problem recently. I would get these horrible itching on my behind immediately after going to the bathroom. The only thing that made it go away was showering, but only until the next potty time...

You can make it go away by taking bentonite clay (preferable), or activated charcoal (in my country it's called vegetable coal). Do your homework before running out to buy it, because there are many ways to take it and a few warnings that you must know so you can recognize side affects and adjust things accordingly. The trick is to use an amount that improves regularity and the "quality" of your movements. Everybody is different, find what works for you.

Good luck!"
