I have a very strange question
I am embarassed to ask this question and it took a lot of nerve for me to finally ask it. But, does anyone else have a problem with their butt? I don't mean my butt - we all have a problem with our big butts, that is why we are here! I mean... my butt :blush:
I often get an itching and sometimes a little bleeding. At first I thought it was the spicy pork rinds, so I quit eating those and it did get somewhat better. But it still happens sometimes. I didn't have this problem before Atkins, so I am not too concerned that it is anything really serious. Does anyone have a clue? |
Hmmm, sounds like hemorrhoids to me. Or if you have been constipated, it might have irritated that area.
|
Chocy, I occasionally have had this due to constipation or um... to put it delicately, hardness of matter. I would look at increasing the water a bit, adding some fiber, and/or taking a supplement such as Benefiber or Metamucil to help.

It could be something like worms (I know it sounds bad.... its something I used to hear a lot about when I was younger). I'd advise that you take this question to your doctor. Maybe its only hemmoroids, but wouldn't you feel more comfortable knowing for sure? :)
Hope it gets better, and don't be embarrassed. We're all family here! :D |
Water! That might be part of it. I have been a little lazy with my water consumption lately.
I thought of hemorrhoids too, but it is not painful, so I thought not - but I guess they aren't always painful, right? I'll try more water and maybe a little fiber. I am bad about eating all my veggies :( Thanks for the advice! |
If increasing water doesn't solve the problem, try psyllium husks for regularity - a great natural fiber and less expensive than the other stuff. Get them at a health food store. I put it into gelatin capsules so I don't have to drink it, but take them with lots of water.

you got hemmies from all the meat. Add water, veggies and psylim husks.
|
sounds like hemorrhoids or like someone else said, it could be pin worms. Those are nasty little boogers.
