burny heinie ???

I was wondering if someone can tell me what "burny heinie" is. Thanks

Pretty much what it says -- your butt burns, usually after you poop. It can have a number of causes, some directly related to the DS, mostly indirectly. If you have foods that cause you diarrhea, your butt can get irritated and it will sting. If you are overproducing bile acids, it can irritate the mucosa on the way out. If you get hemmorhoids or a fissure, which can be caused by things other than the DS itself, the volume and/or acidity and/or cramping and/or straining caused by your bowel habits pre- or post-DS can make it worse. Many post-ops swear by Le Petit Bidet, an add-on bidet for a normal toilet seat, for any and all burny heirie issues. I have to admit that I asked for one for my birthday last year, and my husband went to a lot of trouble to make it fit on our not-normal toilet, and I have yet to use it even once -- I am petrified of what it will feel like to have COLD water shot up my butt, but there are MANY folks who swear by it on the main DS Yahoo board. In particular, those who have hemmorhoids are encouraged to use it, as they swear the cold water feels WONDERFUL and shrinks the swollen 'rhoids. I'm sure it does. Someday, I will have personal proof, but at the moment I'm happy to say I have no need for it.

ok.. now ya know.. dat thingy don't actually "Shoot" H2O up your .... er.. spinkter check valve... right? the great thingy bout those... "Boday's" (sp) is that they "Flow" cool H20 cross those inflamed, Angery parts... and lets em just take a moment to go.... Ahhhhhhhh.... (sigh) specially if your water attachment has a bubblely type nozzel.... But hey.. My folks put one in their household.. and well... it got used right frequently mind you..... To water the dogs... that is.... they never used it for what it was meant to be used fur... so they used it as a watering hole for da poochies... but true.... Hey.. guess that what happens when your dads a plumber..... So.. don'tcha worry non hun... you just have that handy appreatuss (sp) attached to your John with the assurance.. that IF you "EVER" need it... it is there... cause... if you eat a jalopeno by mistake.. that fire exstiquisher might come in handy (pun intended) some evening.. Whew...... Remember.... Save a Horse.... Ride a Cowboy... E

Hi Everyone, There is also a portable bidet that runs on one AA battery and needs no intallation. Plus the good thing is you can fill it with warm water if you don't like the cold. I myself prefer the warm water. I take it everywhere and folds up to fit in my purse. It's great if you travel, work etc and was wonderful in the hospital too. Here is a link for it. It's the blue Olympic Portable Bidet. runs around $35.00 each or 3 for $100 and so worth it! http://www.hygieneforhealth.com/portables.htm
