Sounds like your mother has too much acid in her system. She may need to change her pH. A lot of greens will alkaline and balance the system, sugars, meats, processed foods will produce more acid.Replied by Bessie (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 06/04/2010
Perhaps your mother has candida or some other fungal infection. I agree with Lucy (from Santa Cruz) - go for a more alkaline diet, keep her well hydrated and definitely get rid of the sugar. In the meantime, your mom might find some relief by swabbing her ear with olive oil or coconut oil. She could also use either of these oils on some toilet paper and gently wipe the anal region. Your mom is fortunate to have you as her caregiver. Good luck!Replied by Kathryn (Brevard, Nc) on 06/05/2010
Itchy ears and anus? Parasites. Stop eating meat protein, eat NO sugar, not even fruit sugar, and eat lots of raw and lightly cooked veggies. May want to cut out wheat and other carbs for a while. Take 2 TBS. ground flax meal morning and night to help with elimination. Check out this site for more things to do. Good luck! I'm just getting rid of those that came back with me from Costa Rica last year.Replied by Richard (Ls, Wa) on 11/13/2011
I have a question about sugars. I know I am a sweetaholic. So I try to eat as natural ones as I can. So when you are talking about sugar is this the white refined stuff? I use honey, Xylitol, organic evaporated cane juice. I know this butt itch is related to diet in some way and I am getting desperate. I have tried the tea tree oil and sometimes it works and sometimes it is very temporary. That is why I think it has to do with what goes in as well and a topical remedy. I also wash with water and this helps as well.Replied by Jessica (Ridgecrest, Ca) on 11/16/2011
Your "butt itch" sounds like Candida overgrowth to me... And it is caused by ANY sugar feeding the little candida monsters in your gut. You can use probiotics to boost your own gut bugs to tame the candida, but unless you cut back on sugars, you'll have an itchy butt. If you do have an overgrowth of candida, they do not go away easily or willingly. You can find all sorts of cures for candida on this website. I used Biotin, which prevents candida from growing, and slippery elm to heal my gut from the abuse of the candida. I also went on a strict low carb diet. No itchy butt! =)
