Mastic Gum, DMSO + Iodine for Anal Fistula
6 grams of mastic gum a day to start. Pain will be 50% less by next day. Taper downward to 5.5 grams day two, 5 grams day 3,4.5 grams day 4, and so on.
DMSO 15-20 drops on cotton ball with edible iodine supplement 2 drops and apply cotton ball to fistula opening. Replace frequently every day. Pain will be almost gone by day 2. Keep applying every day with paper towel folded several times over top of cotton ball and DMSO on paper towel too. Do not soak the paper towel just 10 drops or so of DMSO. Do this until fistula closes. When fistula closes keep applying for 10 days and continue mastic gum 1gram daily.
Anal Fistula from Crohnâs Disease - Please Suggest Remedies Shelley (Charlotte, NC) on 04/07/2023
I’m 29 years old and was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2015. I had my first anal fistula in 2018 and now I’ve recently occurred my 2nd anal fistula within the past month. Super painful, right near my vagina and rectum, sitting on my panty line. I get Remicade infusions every 8 weeks. I was told when I started Remicade that it would prevent anal fistulas. I was seen in the ER where they did a CT scan to make sure it was a fistula and not abscess. It was so swollen and painful so they ended up lancing it and draining until I can be seen by a colorectal surgeon. If there is anyone or anything that could help me from having surgery I would be forever grateful. The first fistula surgery I had was the worse time of my life and I don’t want to go through it again if I don’t have to.
