Diet, Tampax, baby powder, and wipes works every time.

OK, I am comming out ! I too have this problem, I do not have any reson that my Butt would be loose! I have had the leaking problem for a while, after doing my dooty and making sure I wiped and wiped and wiped, I still had to go back to the restroom a short time later with the same feeling everyone else has, to find that I must not have wiped well enough!
Well, My solution is , in the morning after I shower, I have a dry stick under arm deoderant that I only use for my BUTT! I swipe that in my but crack, it seems to stop any sweating and actually seems to let me wipe better ( easier) durring the day
helps me
good luck

Isn't the internet amazing to be able to talk about our problems. I am a 62 year old male and I seem to be having more of this bowel leak problem as I get older.

I drink more alcohol than I used to, I am semi retired but still with a bit of work pressure in my new part time job.

So far I think my problem is occasional, but the last week or two I have been pretty bad. I do a poo, have a shower, then go to golf, and by half time, I feel like I am loose. At the end of 18 holes (of golf), I go the the toilet and the paper looks like I have just had a loose crap, this has happend for the last couple of weeks. I must admit I gave up half way thru this blog, there was just too many comments and many of them seemed to be from peopel under 40. I also saw someone older mentioned seeing a doc re serious bowel problems.

So I reckon I am a sporty type person, worst bad habit is I like beer, but I eat an orange and weetbix for brekky each day. Can someone of my age comment please. Thanks, Bob.

Happyoldbob.....Happy old Chief here, I got you beat by a few years (68 on my next birthday). Beer might be causing your change in stool habits but I wouldn't really worry as long as I was not passing only what looks like pea soup.
Do a Google search on Bristol Stool Scale" and you can read about the many types of bowel movements that are considered more or less normal. My stools are looser than they were when I was a young man but I don't worry about it.

I noticed when I approved your post that you are an Aussie, we at poop report are an international community and have members from many countries including the land-down-under. Why don't you register and become a regular? We would welcome you with open arms and you would be surprised by how much fun we have.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

Im currently going through the same problem and have tried some of the solutions posted.

Increasing my fiber caused the problem to disapear in about 1-2 days, but after 2-3 weeks the problem came back, even with me continuing the fiber. While it seems to smell less now, it looks like theres a lot more liquid coming out.

As for the diet and caffine suggestions, this problem started about 1-2 months after I changed my diet to make it healthier.

As for the drinking more water, I started doing this as well about 1-2 months before I had this problem. I used to drink mostly milk, but switched to water to cut the calories.

Ive also noticed that Im starting to get some pain on my butthole. Stings a lot when I try to wipe, so Ive mostly been relying on patting it. I also feel extremely constipated (started after the increase in fiber), but nothing ever comes out. What does come out seems to be much thinner than normal.

Could this be hemorrhoids or something? Im trying to find out what the cause of it is, but no main medical website is listing this as a symptom. The only thing Ive been able to find is that something is likely blocking part of my intestines, but could this problem really go on for a couple months?

Thanks for any help.

Might have actually found out what was causing my problem and if your in luck, yours as well.

I thought back to what changed just before I developed this problem, and originally I could only think of my change in diet, but then I realized something else as well. As part of my diet change, I decided to chew a lot of gum(and I seriously mean a lot as in 30+ pieces a week) because it was a nice distraction to food. From some quick scans online it seems like chewing and swallowing gum can cause this problem. Im now trashing my gum and Ill keep you all updated over the results.

I'm a forty-year old male, normal weight. My problem's been lots of itching, plus some stinging, usually related to some kind of mostly clear, non-smelly liquid, which I took to be a discharge, though it sometimes seems more like sweat. I was especially bothered by it at night and eventually realised I needed to take a dump before I went to bed or the liquid would irritate me and keep me awake. This made me think it was liquid draining from more solid poop I needed to excrete. The only problem was, while I usually find pooping pretty easy, at night I didn't necessarily really need to go and would often only manage a few hard, dark little rocks, though sometimes great reserves of quite normal poop arrive after the removal of one of these little plugs. This now makes me interested in Trust Me I'm A Doctor's impacted faeces thesis. It's just that, even pooping out these little rocks generally took care of the problem. And because of this, I didn't really even think of the discharge as a condition until recently, just a byproduct of needing to poop.

The thing that changed my view was increasing incidences of mild bleeding. This seemed to be related to eating certain foods - cheddar and meat as far as I could tell - as well as to the acidity of the discharge. So I looked that up and the main thing I came up with was, if I had bleeding, I needed to see the GP, which I did. He didn't say anything about fissures, but slipped on a rubber glove and felt around for hems. Did I have them? He couldn't tell, but said my anus was very inflamed (thanks, I knew that) and prescribed anusol suppositories for possible mild hems and Fucidin H, a hydrocortisone cream for the inflammation, which he said might be an infection of 'some sort'. He seemed bored.

This seemed to be a treatment for symptoms, not causes. The prescriptions stopped the itching for short periods and the anusol even seems to stop the discharge. I also gave up coffee completely (formerly I drank two cups, black, every day) and chocolate, which I also took black. However, I switched to black tea, which I'll now also leave out, given that I'm still getting itching and the odd bit of bleeding. My diet's already pretty high in fiber, lots of veg and whole grains, especially brown rice, millet, wholeweheat bread and, lately, rye grains. Also oatmeal porridge at night lately. This stuff's great and always guarantees a good pooh, but doesn't mitigate the bad effects of other foods. However, not sure, but lately it seems I'm more able to eat cheddar without bleeding or getting stingy poohs. Could be the anusol's helped somehow; or the caffeine decrease; I really can't be sure.

Thing is, I was vegetarian for eight years in my twenties and, during that time, I ate some beans that hadn't been soaked properly and I had a very bad reaction. I was ill all weekend, then couldn't eat any beans at all for about a year without having terrible diarrhea, as if food was simply rushing through me without being properly digested. My sensitivity was so bad, even bread with soya flour (very common ingredient in mass-produced bread) seemed to bring it on, as well as soya sausages. Total nightmare for a vegetarian. I discovered that dried bean powder was used in diet pills precisely because it inhibits digestive functions. Well I was getting rather thin, but this is no way to do it, believe me. It just means your food's going right through you, in a way that is alarming, inconvenient and really unpleasant. During that time I saw an even more bored looking doctor who's reaction to my story was literally, 'What do you expect me to do about it?' Eventually, upon learning that vit c was good for digestion, I started scoffing about ten oranges a day and this seemed to sort me out very quickly.

I've sort of wondered if this was related to the discharge somehow. I came to this site because this evening I saw a documentary on food science that mentioned olestra, the 'fat-free' (because indigestible) fat used in WOW chips and how it had been linked to 'anal leaking'. This was what really made me realise it was a condition. I thought, well, if an indigestible fat could cause it, maybe indigestible beans could have caused it too. The wikipedia page on steatorrhea (apparently the technical term for AL) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_leakage makes interesting reading.

'Orlistat (Xenical) is a diet pill that works by blocking the enzymes that digest fat. As a result fat cannot be absorbed from the gut and some fat is excreted in the feces instead of being metabolically digested, sometimes causing oily anal leakage.'

'Treatments are mainly correction of the underlying cause, as well as digestive enzyme supplements.'

Beanfeaster, you really need to find a doc that will take your symptoms seriously, like a gastroenterologist. Dont go back to the one who asked you what you wanted him to do about it. He is no good. You definitely have a problem you cant solve alone. Dont give up if you get a jerk for a doc. Just keep looking until you find the right one.

I'm a 46 year old male. Last year I developed a hemorrhoid but none of the treatments I received from my physician helped. He basically told me if it didn't go away on its own I'd have to live with it or try surgery.

Shortly thereafter I started realizing that I had many of the symptoms described here: leakage, excessive smell, etc. I was too ashamed and disgusted to tell anyone and started to do some research online. I came across this site and based upon some of the recommendations I was going to try to up my fiber uptake until someone recommended Colonix by DrNatura. I did some research (they have some amazing testimonials) and decided to try it. It's a little pricey and the full treatment lasts three months but it's simple. You just mix and drink some herbal supplement with water, take some tablets and drink some tea based upon their schedule. After a few weeks I definitely noticed an improvement and by the end of three months my "problem" had cleared up and my hemorrhoid eventually went away as well.

I don't work for them and I'm not a shill (I never recommend anything online lol) but this was such a horrifying experience that I wanted to let others who face it know what worked for me. Good luck!

I CHECKED OUT THIS SITE 1 MONTH AGO BECAUSE I DEVELOPED A LARGE RED RASH ON BOTH SIDES IN THE CRACK OF MY BUTT PLUS HAD A CLEAR LIQUID LEAK OUT. IT DID NOT ITCH BUT I NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE IN MY LIFE. I WENT TO MY DOCTOR AND HE SAID IT COULD BE JOCK ITCH (RINGWORM) CAUSED FROM MOISTURE. HE TOLD ME TO USE LAMISIL WHICH I DID FOR 2 WEEKS - TWICE A DAY WITH LITTLE RESULTS. SEEN MY DERMATOLOGIST AND HE SAID IT WAS NOT A FUNGUS AND GAVE ME A PRESCRIPTION CALLED DESONIDE OINTMENT 0.06%. BEING THAT I READ SO MANY ARTICLES ON THIS SITE I MADE SOME MORE CHANGES. I LIMITED MY COFFEE TO 2 CUPS A DAY, SWITCHED TO A 12 GRAIN BREAD (HIGH FIBER), STARTED EATING RAISEN BRAN (HIGH FIBER)IN THE MORNINGS AND THEN STOPPED USING WHAT I CALL BUTT WIPES. WELL, THE RASH IS COMPLETELY GONE, I FEEL BETTER WITHOUT SO MUCH COFFEE PLUS MY STOOL IS MORE FIRM AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A LEAKY BUTT. ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL!

Mr. Jim,after you wipe with a wet wipe. Dry the area with tp before you pull your pants up.

I am surprised that the "poopNurse" suggested sticking a tampon up your rectum. That's a bit extreme. Both my Mom and I have an inherited condition that leads to all manner of colo-rectal problems and she eventually had to have some surgeries that left her with some minor leakage issues, mostly at night. I bought her some special pads that are are held in place simply by the pressure of your buttocks and she loves those for day time. For night time she uses a product the same company seels that's like a night gaurd. it's washable.

Let me link to them so you can see:

The pads:
B-SURE™ anal leakage pads

The night-gaurd type thing is called:
Fuller Shield® Dressing Holder
https://birchwoodmedical.com/fullershield.html

The dressing holder can be used with or without on of their leakage pads.

Then, she carries these rose-scented little pink ziplok bags to dispose of them and here's the link to them:

Simply Discreet:

I don't work for nor do I have a financial interest in either company. I merely found their products very helpful for my Mom who was just terribly embarrassed by the situation. She was afraid to go out, worried about soiling her sheets and bed clothes and just terrified people would think she pooped her pants if she had an accident. her leakage is mild to moderate and she finds those products all to be great for ewhat they do and for her peace of mind.

Acidophilus is the answer to all your problems. Try it and see.

I need help!!!For over a year I have experienced anal leakage. Whenever I am out and about, leakage comes out and people can smell it. It is embarrasing. It is ruining my life! The wierd thing is that when I am at home, it is normal. No leakage..Anyone else with this problem? any advice?!?!

I have dealing with anal leakage for a year. When I am out and about, people can smell it. Wierd thing is when im home everything is normal. Advice?

I'M SERIOUS GUYS. READ UP ON IT. IT WILL HELP A LOT!

I had this problem for about 4 years, i found out i had internal hemorrhoids which eventually became external, my but leaked poop, puss and blood no joke, depending how bad the hemorrhoids were at the time. I recently started going to the doctor about a year ago and have been getting injections every two months to shrink the hemmroids, ive had about 5 injections nows and they are almost gone and so is the leakage. i also found that working out, taking rutin and vitamin c supplements and wiping your buttt with hot water on the tp, also clench your anal sphincter muscle as often as you can remember to retighted your sphicter when the hemmoroids start going down, also warm epsom salt baths and drinkin aloe helps. ps stay away from alcohol and drink lots of water!

As a practical matter, if you are a desk jockey, get one of those old fashioned wicker car seats to sit on. It will keep the air flowing and the sweat from building up. That should help with the problem.

I'm pretty sure we got some common things here

SYMPTOMS
Itchiness
Sweatiness
Bad Smell
Reappearance of feces/mucus around anus

What I did
Well first i'd like to ask the questions did any of you guys take antibiotics recently or eat spicy acidic food on a daily basis? The antibiotics can really take a toll on the bacteria in you gi tract so eat some cultured yogurt. Stop eating spicy foods and avoid caffeine.

so what i did was start eating cultured yogurt, take in more fiber, drink cranberry juice, wipe carefully and gently not to irritate, avoid caffeine, and avoid spicy foods. I'm a lot better now. but when i hate some jalapenos it happened again and i had a stomachache. and now i'm okay again. TRY IT

OK, try this. For a lot of people, the problem is a digestive problem. Try NOT eating anything after dinner. There's something about late night snacks that causes the food to not digest properly.

My problem was 90% cured by avoiding processed flour and avoiding Splenda, but I still had some problems. I found that whenever I was out of town I had no problems at all. I finally figured out the difference - it wasn't possible for me to eat snacks after dinner when out of town.

Everyone is different. Your results might vary.......

Hi fellows. If this problem is caused by a blockade e.g. by hemorhoids then try this :

USE VASELINE BEFORE BOWELMOVEMENT.
PUT VASELINE INTO THAT Finger next to your thumb(do not know how it is called in englisch).
Put your finger with vaseline inside your ase and put it on your rectum before bowel movement.

The idea behind this is that vaseline is gliding the whole shit out so that less stool is blocked by hemorhoids and others.

Please tell me if this method is improving the problem as i cannot test by myself.

there is no solution

I see you`ve thought long and hard about this problem, AC, and have considered every alternative before coming to this conclusion....there`s always the final solution, of course.

What about something noone thinks of, at least i have never seen it mentioned. IT'S the PROSTATA.

The Prostata is the neighbour of your rectum and "Bubble" (do not know how it is called in egnlish).

Usually if postata is increased it blocks the bubble and you get a slight of pee incontinence.

But what if it does not blocks the "bubble" but the rectum !!!

Check your prostata at the urlogist/gynacologist for increasement.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION

I wont bore you with what i've been through, but i like most people here have suffered with this for a while. But i may have a solution that may work for some.

1. Go to a doctor. I went to a primary care and a gastroenterologist. The gastro doc gave me a stomach bacteria medicine to produce natural bacteria, its over the countet. The one i have is called Align.

2. Immodium to control your diarehha, over the counter. consult doctor or pharmasist for dose. Mine said to take less than whats prescribed on the bottle.

3. Fiber suppliment, i use benefiber chewable tablets. some others use mettamucil.

4. To help with leakage i use Anal Leakage Pads from
https://birchwoodmedical.com/b-sure.html
It is better than wearing a diaper, it usually stays in place but you need to change it from time to time so have several with you when you go out.

I wasnt sure why i was having a problem but i may be primarily because of my diet. I started a new job and started drinking a lot of coffee, also i started eating out more. Im cutting back on junk food and caffeen as well.

hope this helps

Wow! This site is one of the best ever! It's helping people, including me, with a very serious issue...and at the same time, it's freakin' hilarious!

My problem with AL sounds very similar to many here, but i'm not sure. I don't know whether it's the feces, mucous, or both? I don't get "skid" marks on my underwear, but more of a subtle browning on a broad area. It's not bad enough to come through my underwear, but it's still a problem. I work outside in the heat, so i sweat a lot, which i believe helps spread the leakage. But when i get home from work and go to the bathroom to wipe, it's usually a clear/yellowish substance that shows up on the white TP.

I've never had this problem, until the last few years. I also started taking a medication a few years ago, which i still take, that really constipated me. For a while, i had some serious problems with being able to have a BM. Over time, i was able to go a little bit more easily. But my feces is still, to this day, much dryer and harder than normal. Every once in a while it comes out softer(as in normal), but usually it comes out in nickel/quarter sized pellets that you could actually pick up and throw without leaving any visible residue on your hands. However, along with these pellets, sometimes i can see a clear-like mucous hanging off of them in the toilet. I'm guessing that this is the mucous substance that's been mentioned here many times before. I can't really remember how close my AL problems began in relation to the start of my medication, but i do know that i didn't have the problem BEFORE i started the medication. Could this all be a direct result of the medication, or is it just a coincidence? I have to continue taking my medication, regardless. So if it is due to this, is there anything i can take to counteract this?

Swamp ass how do you know your poo pebble leaves no residue if you pick it up and throw it? You sound still very very constipated. Go get some Miralax OTC. Take it everyday with out fail. Drink lots of water. If it works, ask MD who prescribes your medication for a prescription. Mucus wrapps around hard stool because it is so very hard. The colon produces mucus naturally and constipated people notice mucus more often because dry poop is going to cling to mucus and dry the mucus out too, if it sits in your colon long enough.

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

Some of you may have a condition causing steatorrhea. Google it. It can be caused by parasites, celiac disease, lactose intolerance. My suggestion to you is to first try fiber. If that does not work then try avoiding all types of dairy for 1-2 weeks and see if that helps. If that doesn't work then try a parasite cleanser.

If none of those things work then it might be a muscle or nerve problem. But make sure its not tapeworm! Those things are nasty looking.

I've had steatorrhea as a symptom for nearly two years now. I have not found out what it is and have seen a few doctors for it. I've been on a parasite cleanser for 3 weeks and have avoided all types for dairy for 5 days. I think it might be improving, but its too early to tell. I sure do hope it improves because a normal life would be nice. I definitely feel all of your pain people.

I also have a problem where I wipe til the tp is clear then I end up going back a little later and find that I need to wipe some more. My work is cheap and only has the crap sand paper like 1 ply, so I end up with blood if I have to wipe to much. Sometimes I just roll up some TP and line my crack with it for the resat fo the day, I call them manpons. Fiber is always good, it gives my a lot of no-wipers. So I have started taking fiber again, 30-40g a day if I can. Apples, fiber pills, shreaded wheat, wheat bread, beans. This problem comes and goes. I hope if I stink to this high fiber it wont come back

@sittingpretty

Because i had to take a dump outside in the woods one time, and i just couldn't resist reaching down and picking a pellet up. I felt pretty much like a rock...very dry.

Isn't there a limit, though, on how much you should use a laxative. Or is Miralax OTC not a laxative?

The directions on the package aren't just for your reading pleasure, Swampy...nobody should take laxatives all the time, it can really fuck up your system. Try the over the counter stuff (OTC) first, and if no improvement is made, definitely see a doctor.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

I have had anal leakage or whatever it is since my teen years. I am now 55. I have had the all the embarassing issues mentioned above.

Here are some things I can recommend, with source in parentheses:

Clean well but not too hard. Witch Hazel [ingredient in Tucks] on a baby wipe helps a lot. If you don't think its really clean, take a shower. (Experience)

Zinc Oxide is a good soother and will speed healing. (Experience)

Dandruff Shampoo in the "crack" while showering helps. (Experience)

Avoid caffeine. (Family Doctor)
Increase fiber in diet. (Family Doctor)

Neosporin helps a severe irritation.(Experience)

Avoid really spicy food [I am from Louisiana so some spice is OK...just don't eat hablamos peppers, etc.] (Experience)

Talk to your doctor or gastroenterologist. (Experience)

Swampy, when I was 20 yrs old, I thought my appendix grew back and was about to rupture again. I had big rocks, I called boulders, impacted the length of my colon. The doctor didn't do any tests. He told me I had to take Kondramul for the rest of my life. Having heard the same thing about laxatives and not believing I needed to take kondramul the rest of my life, I resisted. I took the kondramul for awhile to get the acuteness of it all behind me. Then I increased the fruit in my diet 100 fold. I have tried all kinds of diet and fluid adjustments to make my bowels normal to no avail. I have suffered with constipation my whole life. Now, 29 1/2 years lator I am taking Miralax prescription(generic) a minimum 2-6Xday and an upper gastromotility modifier with meals and at bedtime. I have been told for 6 yrs that I'm disabled and for 6 years I have fought to not be disabled. The only cure for my partially paralyzed colon and now megacolon is a subtotal or total colectomy. You see, it is more detrimental to your health to be constipated all your life than it is to take miralax the rest of your life. Miralax isn't like the cathartics you are used to like exlax. It is not absorbed by the normal healthy mucus membrane of the colon. Only people with leaky bowel can't use it because their mucus membranes aren't intact. Constipation is not taken seriously by the gen. pop. like heart trouble. People go to doc for heart disease, but people diagnose and treat themselves with home remedies for colon dis ease. A normal sized colon that is forced to hold packed-tight feces all the time stretches over the years to accomodate for room. Once it reaches mega colon proportion, there is not much that helps it move poop out. So, in answer to your question, no sort of. IT is like soap for the colon. The average chronically constipated person only needs one dose everyday. Can't miss a day though. It makes average people regular.

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

Hi everyone im sorry to hear that so many people have this condition. So il tell you my story...

Last year i went to pakistan and i became really sick since. And after i came back i noticed that i couldn't go to the toilet properly. I had constapation and my ass started to feel wet for a while but it stopped after a week and only ever occour once a month after... until now it is horrible...

the worst thing about it is that i am only 14 years old. and school life is terrible. PLZ help me.

Mine came on about 6 months ago. I had always had a problem with AL once a month or so for the last 15 years, which I generally attributed to a once-in-a-while sloppiness with hygiene (and it might have been). Anyway, about 6 months ago I started working out of town frequently, like every other week, which of course led to lots of greasier dinners and very poor eating habits. As a result, my AL problem became almost daily. But, my stool was sticky and discolored, and I was having a BM every day (sometimes twice a day) when I was previously only have 2 every 3-4 days. So, I figured the AL was because of my diet and I resolved to change it.

So, now I eat much more healthily. More fiber, no coffee, no soft drinks, no caffeine at all. Very little alcohol, very little fried foods, etc. My BM's have mostly returned to normal, I've lost weight (weight I needed to lose), and I feel better. BUT my AL problem has persisted.

I wipe and wipe until it's good and clean, but 1-2 hours later I go back and wipe again and I've got the yellowish-liquid occasionally accompanied by more stool. While it got a little better with my diet change, it is still much worse than before my little stint with fattening foods.

So, did I damage myself in some way? I went back to my original diet, which didn't fix my AL, and then I went to an even better diet with more fiber and less fat, and that also didn't fix it.

how come noone here goes to the doctor for leaking butt. i would be back in the docotr's if the cure didnt work. i wouldnt tolerate a leaky butt for one second. nope not me. i would be beating down the doctor's door and all of you should to.

I have never had this problem before and i dont know what it is. i think im going to go with what every1 else is saying. diet. eat more fiber. uhm.. so also 1 more thing. how is it that so many ppl have this problem, and no doctor has ever heard of it. is it the people's fault for not telling any doctors about this so they can study it. even if it is embarassing the word does need to get out, cuase if there is all these ppl just posting bout it on this site, there has to be a ton more like us. mayb its the crappy food that our country is giving us. o well, i will prob post later to for sure say if it is diet.

I sorta have this problem now. It use be unbearable and i did end up going to the doctor for it. Upon a discussion with my doctor, she came to the conclusion that it was dietary. I'd usually eat a cereal that had a lot of walnuts in it. Apparently these can get through your digestive system and inflame your colon. My doctor prescribed me some medicine and told me to change my diet.

For the most part this cleared the problem right up. However, i enjoy walnuts so occaisionally this problem creeps up, but is much less severe and managable if i change my diet when it happens.

Maybe MORE fiber may not be the answer... Some posts up the page it was suggested to look into acidophilus, Do It! Probiotics are available to help RESTORE the bacteria in our gut. We need that stuff. Too MUCH fiber and MEDICINES can yank the good bacteria right out of our systems leaving us with many potential problems. One report states that in the event of a colon "washout" the appendix has "the restart kit" for our bacteria which may be a bummer for those that have lost their appendix. But please at least consider studying up on probiotics. Yes, there can be a trick to get it in your system without the stomach acids eating it up but it can be done.

Well now AC, I think God will probably grant your wish because you forgot to capitalize his name. If you read your Bible you should know that God is a jealous fellow and will get even with you. On the other hand, if you haven't been out of your house for two years it won't make a lot of difference, will it?

Quote "I would like to share with you all the way I completely solved my problem. For years I had the familiar leakage problem - and believe me I know how annoying that is to everyone who has it I found I had internal haemorrhoids and had them fixed, but that did not solve it. I cut out wheat and that did not fix it either. Then I realized that ever since I had quit smoking, I had been drinking huge quantities of coffee and tea throughout the day. I cut down to one coffee in the morning and one tea at night. Slowly but surely, my problem began to lessen. Then, about 2 months ago, I started to exercise seriously - both aerobically and using floor exercises. Caramba! My problem has disappeared completely - no looseness at all and no leakage. I've just invested in new, white underwear."

Anyone think soda would do the same thing?
I drink an average of 2 cokes per day..

OMG! I'm so glad I found this site. I'm going through the same issue with anal leakage. It seems to happen off and on. I've had internal hemorrhoids before, but its pretty much gone now. I'm not that active, I do push ups every other day that's about it, but I don't run. I wonder if living a sedentary lifestyle maybe causing anal leakage. I'm changing my diet as well to see if this helps with the AL. I hope I can figure this out, this problem is really embarrassing.

AC, God didnt make you a failure or make you want to die. Take accountability for your actions. If your life is a failure, it is not God's fault. It is your own fault. Tomorrow is a new day. You can always start over on a new day.

Dear What still no answer.......This is a poop humor site, not a medical advice site. We help you through your problem by making fun of you. If you read a few of the comments posted in Poop Report you will notice that people are told, quite frequently, to see a doctor.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

I'm having a hard time determining whether I have a problem with anal leakage or profuse butt sweat.

I am a healthy, 29 year old female. For the past month, when I ride the stationary bike at the gym for 20+ minutes, I get off with a soaking wet rear. The first time it happened, I thought I peed in my pants. When I ruled that out, I was convinced the foam bike seat was seeping out water or old sweat from other people. But no, I am soaking the back part of my pants every time I go to the gym now, no matter which bike I use. I have never had this problem before, just in the past few weeks. It is extremely embarrassing - to the point where I've had to wrap my jacket around my waist and sneak out during mid-workout. I seem to be discharging a clear, watery, odor-free liquid and I am certain that it is not urine. Some days I discharge more than other days. So the questions is - what the heck is this stuff that I seeping out of my body? Liquidy mucous? Has anyone else had this same problem?

After reading through this site, I discovered the possible connection between my gym problem and anal leakage or IBS. About 30 minutes after having a bowel movement, and excessively wiping and washing in the bidet, I very often ''feel the burn'' and need to rush back to the bathroom to wipe again. I've always been so perplexed as to why I can't seem to properly clean myself but I now see that there may be a medical reason behind all of this.

I plan to up my fiber intake (although I already do have a quite fiber-rich diet), go out and buy Psyllium Husk and see if things improve. I guess my main concern right now is the water leaking out of me at the gym. What could it be?!

If it is clear and odor free, it is not coming out of your butt. Butt juice stinks bigtime. You are probably sweating profusely in your ass crack. i see people jogging with wet pants at the cracks all the time

Dear Tush we will need a sample of your bike seat and your pants to determine that this is just sweat. perhaps you should put roll on deoderant all over your cheeks before you get on the bike that should help. Or better yet stuff maxi pads all down your pants they should absorb everything.

I am sure that I have found the cure for this pesky problem. Upon till 2 months ago, I too had been suffering from this quite embarrassing and obnoxious plague, but now I seem to have stopped it in it's tracks. Here's what I did:

Oh, first let me point out that I am a healthy eater, meaning I absolutely watch what I eat. This means no junk food (10 years+ without McD or any of the others). No sodas or caffeine. I have a fruit smoothie every morning, consisting of 6 fruits or more, with ripe bananas and oatmeal as the base ingredients. I snack on natural nuts (unsalted almonds, pecans, walnuts) and dried fruits - mostly raisins - during the daytime. I drink at least 8 glasses of reverse osmosis filtered water per day, and I walk 3-5 miles most days, followed by one or sometimes two bowel movements for the day. Despite all of this diligence, I still had this leak that I could not get rid of.

I then started a 6-7 month process of eliminating certain kinds of dairy foods. I don't know why I started with dairy, I just knew I had to start somewhere. I started with skimmed milk. Maybe it was because it was one of the few un-natural foods that I consumed out of habit, I guess. So, I had no milk for a month. Nothing happened. No butter the following month. A little change for the better - but still leaking. Then I came to Mr. Cheese (American) in my 3rd month. After my first 2 weeks of no cheese, the volume of leakage dropped by about 50%. By the end of the month it was down to a smidge. I kind of doubted the results, so just to be sure, I started to eat my regular amount of cheese for the following week or two. It didn't take long for the leaks to return. I immediately dropped cheese from my diet again, and as before, the leaking stopped completely in about 2 weeks or so. I am simply ecstatic and relieved (no pun) to report that I have since been as dry as the Sahara, after each bm!

I hope that this info will help other sufferers out there. The solution to this problem does not lie in pharmaceutical drugs, it has to do with your diet and lifestyle!! Eat lots of grain, fruits and nuts, drink adequate amounts of CLEAN water and exercise for a few minutes each day. And here's the biggie - no more fast foods!!! Discipline yourself to drive past the fast food joints, and stay away from processed foods when you go shopping. Your body is begging for REAL, natural foods (foods that were once 'alive' and will rot if not consumed quickly or left outside for a period of time), eat home-cooked meals. Hope this helps!

I've got this problem too which started around two years ago and is not getting any better. Its an absolute nightmare and i agree with Aro who said how come so many people have this yet doctors don't know what the hell it is. Infact doctors are a waste of space, i went to see my doctor about this problem and he could not see anything wrong but he sent me to a specialist anyway. I then went to see the specialist and he didn't have a clue either and in the end i was basically telling him his job saying i have heard it may be a diet problem and he just goes yes try that. I thought some bloody use you were so i'm left to try and figure it out myself. I have tried Psyllium husk capsules which i think may have had a little effect which is hard work remembering to take them all the time but i may go back to them again. Apparently charcoal pills are a possible help too so i'll probably give them a whirl. I think this thing personally is caused by a variety of problems such as diet, stress and anxiety which i have problems with but don't get me wrong i am fit as a fiddle and slim. The only way for us to conquer this is to all put our problems and potential causes together and somehow try and work this thing out for ourselves as know one else is going to help us. I know one thing apart from the obvious problem we must all have something in common which is causing this, so what is it. Are you stressed, anxious, restless and tense or do you drink lots of tea & coffee and have an unhealthy diet as personally i have all of these problems and i think somewhere there is where the problem lies. I am going to cut out all tea & coffee from my diet aswell as chocolate even though i love all of them things but it just has to be done. After trying it for a while i will post my results and see if it works.

This is a reply to Samuel who posted on 03.05.2009.

I have the same problem. I'm not leaking poo or anything... just a clear mucus. It doesn't seem to smell or anything (at least I can't smell it and no one else has complained yet). It more just feels disgusting and squishy, so I have to go wipe a few times a day.

I'm gonna try changing my diet... try eating more fresh fruit and veges etc. If that doesn't work, I might try fibre supplements and deodorant.

thanks TP in PA I poop at night not in the day time no TP in pants all day good luck iron butt

I don't have the AL or skid mark problem, but stumbled across this site because of perianal sweating and itching and irritation. I don't sweat much elsewhere, not even under arms, but only in my butt crack. I avoid vinyl or any other non-fabric seats because I am afraid I'll leave that embarassing wet mark. I never tried using deodorant down there as I don't even use underarm deodorant because as I mentioned I don't sweat anywhere else. My whole buttcrack seems very tender and sensitive and is moist most of the day. This is aggravating!

My baby had to come home from work today due to chronic mud butt syndrome(cmbs), the only thing that worries me is that her co-worker has been suffering from cmbs for a while now and is constantly in and out of the bathroom, atleast 10 times a day! Does anyone know if mud butt is contagious? If so are there any cures or precautions we can take to ensure this mud butt doesnt spread throughout the family. PLEASE HELP US!

Eureka!! I've had itchy and leaky butt for almost 2 years.

I went to a colo-rectal doctor who performed a colonoscopy which found some interesting stuff (diverticulosis) but nothing that he could directly say was causing my problems. I would recommend getting a colonoscopy just to see what's going on in there (plus it's a great nap). As someone once said "death starts in the colon".

He told me to increase my fiber so I've been taking the psyllium husk pills which help a little and are worth it anyway since they are good for your heart.

The CR Dr. indicated that the itching may be caused by what is known as Pruritus Ani, which is defined as "Pruritus ani is bothersome and sometimes intense itching of the skin around the anus (rectal opening). It is most noticeable at night or after a bowel movement. The most common complaint is an irresistible urge to scratch. Some people will experience a burning sensation or note occasional bleeding when wiping after a bowel movement. This is a common problem that affects up to 5% of the population. It affects men and women and may occur at any age." The main causes are moisture, diet or skin irritants. So I set out eliminating different foods from my diet.

After several months it turned out that milk and possibly in combination with coffee (I like my morning lattes) was causing not only my leakage but the majority of my itching.

I've been off the lattes for several weeks now and the leakage is pretty much gone. I get occasional itching but I think that may be from either chocolate or spicy food (haven't narrowed it down yet). At least I know what is causing the problem and can now manage it.

Hope this helps.

I'm a 31 year old female. I've had this issue for about 3 years now. I'm about to leave to go see my doctor AGAIN. It's the clear seepage that has me frustrated. This bout has lasted almost a week. It usually comes and goes, but the itching never stops. The seepage irritates my skin. I went to an allergist...nothing. I'm about to omit all dairy from my diet as I've already tried cutting out the coffee with no help. I take Konsyl everyday. I use bag balm at night to help ease the irritation. I hate my ass. It's just way too much work. Why can't any doctor figure it out? Retards. I'll let you know what Dr. K-Y has to say.

So, I went to Dr. K-Y (this is the actual name of his practice) yesterday. He increased my Konsyl (psyllium fiber) dose to
1 TBS two times a day. Then he gave me a prescription for some cream with antibiotics in it because my skin was sooooo irritated down there. He told me that it is a good idea to go off all dairy for at least 4-6 weeks. We'll see how that goes. I'm also scheduled for a colonoscopy to see if there is any other issues going on inside. so much fun. not exactly how I want to spend my summer, but I just want this thing gone!

I have good reason to think that the speculation that chicken and red meat causes alot of mucus secretion is true. 2 years ago, I started having that mucus thing every few days. These days, it's like the afore-said, "didn't clean my anus after I pooped". I also have good reason to believe that fibre could be a cure. When I have been having cereals for breakfast last week, I had NO problems whatsoever. However, yesterday and today I didn't have cereal, and problem is back.

Hello. We are all suffering from what is called:

"ANAL SEEPAGE" ,again, ANAL SEEPAGE.

It mostly affect men.
We have a high spincter tone. Our spincter does not relax when it should relax etc. Read about it and you recognise that all the thing we do is not solving the cause but minimize the leak.
- that is why someone wrote he exercised (aerobic ,sport) and leakage has gone
maybe his spincter got right again

As a student, i remember doing learning 3 weeks in a row without going out, that was the point where that constipation came and this shit happened.

If u understand german then here u go, a very good PDF where eveery type of INCONTINENCE is stated and what one should do, therapy etc.
http://www.mediziner.at/content/publikationen/1154343979_2_7.pdf

Here you can see why coffee should be avoided.Coffee is increasing the peristaltic of rectum, thus stool is transported more faster to your rectum and spincter. Since our spincter does not work correctly , stinking beginns by leak.

There are 2 medicines you can try. Those two medicines slowers the movement of your instestines : IMODIUM and ENTEROBOL.

You can also wash your intestines by a cliestel, the tool where you put water into your ass. It will clean your ass until stool eaches spincter region again.

So you see , ANAL SEEPAGE is it called.
There are many many solutions.

It is something not many docs know only specialized clinics.

So the disease is called "ANAL SEEPAGE".

An abnormal spincter tone causes the leakage mostly affects men.
How to determine ?
Determine the time you eat ad shit out food !
You can do this by eating spicy !
Note the time you took spicey food and the time you have stool and your ass burns.
If the time differs from a normal time then your intestines moves unnormally very fast, that means peristaltic of your intestines is increased. Coffee causes this and others.

- wash your intestines with a cliestel after bowel movement. if you have form more time no problem than that is an indication of "anal seepage" cause there is no stool on your rectum/ spincter region.

- if you stop eating , an extreme diet for about 2-3 days, just eading fluidly , then stinking will stop,

- train your spincter muscle, go move yourself, do sport, run !
if increasement , then it again was probabaly anal seepage.

If conservative therapy does not help like diet and sports , then you can do surgerey !

I also suffer from this problem and have been thinking that it may be related to sex, and the orgasm process. When men or women orgasm the sphincter contracts and retracts, possibly if you have sex (or masturbate) too much this could make the problem worse. Try not masturbating as much and stick to real sex. Just a thought.

Feces.......You state that the sphincter contracts and retracts during sex or masturbation. If we accept that premise as true why would it help to cut out masturbation and go strictly for sex? You have said they both have the same effect. What about blowjobs, where do they fit into the equation?

This is a reply to Jared who posted on 06.23.2009

Have you had any luck stopping the leakage by changing your diet? My problem is still occurring and has only gotten worse. I've noticed that eating poorly makes it worse. For example, eating highly processed foods (junk foods, like cookies).

I did an anti-parasite cleanse and it made no difference.

Would love to know if you've made any progress. Thanks!

WHo of you who have that problem do much sex or masturbating.

Indeed , this could be the cause as i masturbate very much.

It has something to do with the spincther contracts and teracts.

I remember when this began, that first , gas shootet out. but gases came out in a strange manner. like , gas, stop, gas , stop ,gas ,stop so a very linear way. that would indicate indead a contraction of spincter.
also on manometrie , the doc recognises an high spincter tone.

most docs simply just don't know about spincter problems.

my hemorhoids where treated 5 times. got bit better but it is not enough. i think that i have a defect so that the hemorhoid always comes back.

Dear AC.....You should cut the time you devote to masturbation in half and use the time you save studying spelling and English composition.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

This is due to excess fat in your diet which cannot be digested. Stools may also float due to excess lipid, have an oily appearance and be especially foul smelling. Possible biological causes can be lack of bile acids (due to liver damage or hypolipidemic drugs), defects in pancreatic juices (enzymes), and defective mucosal cells. The absence of bile acids will cause the feces to turn gray or pale. Try taking lot of fiber and water. And cut down on cheese.

Orlistat (Xenical) is a diet pill that works by blocking the enzymes that digest fat. As a result fat cannot be absorbed from the gut and some fat is excreted in the feces instead of being metabolically digested, sometimes causing oily anal leakage.

Also try some digestive enzyme supplements.

one question. who of you made regularly sports, not muscle training but sports where you move your body like running , basketball,football etc.
on my side , i did stop doing move sports since 21 or since i left school.
lack of movement causes many things. by doing regurlarly sports maybe it helps.

PS: i eat a big mac menu yesterday and today the stibk was bad. i mean after bowel mm. i washed my ass with water. i then used gel to wash my hand with whom i cleaned the ass. guess what, even after using wash gel the smell of shit was in my hand !!!!
it got away when i took soap.
the stinking of eating bic mac menu !
so --> bic mac menu (how much carbs, fat, sugar ) does it have ?
I am going to increase the supplement of enzymes and then look if it will help.

i personally think that our spincter got damaged after an infllamtion of pancreas, bile or other.

we had spincter weakness for along (at least it was on my side so) , my trousers often smelled some months before this happend, but it wasnt never like it is today.

maybe the warm wather is increasing the smell and i did not notice it on winter because it was cold.

GET A BUTT PLUG TAMPONS.
These damn are very expensive but insurance must pay , you must force your doc. those plug you stick into as after bowl movement.
if the sinkting stops, you know that you have some kind of incontinence.

me from above again.
so i will buy these butt tampons.
it says it will close the leak , no odors, no itching.
http://www.prodry.de/analtampon/prodry.htm

using this, if i it works then you / i can go to the doc and be sure that we are some kind of incontinent. of course doctors will try to send you home without real help , just saying eat properly, he will never hint at those but pluggers. normally the insurance must pay it, but as doctors has dealt a budget system with insurances they won't inform you about that as these thing are damn expensinve.
maybe a normal tampon will do it, someone tried, yet ?

I was given a cream for the itching. Calmoseptine. It works well. It's soothing. It has calamine, zinc, and menthol in it. It doesn't smell great and it feels like I'm putting diaper rash ointment on myself but its working. I decided to try a naturopath in the meantime until my colonoscopy. we'll see what he says.

Have that problem:
Result of Gastroscopy :

- Heart Inflammation
- Stomach inflammation

caused by the "helicobacter pylori" bacteria.

Now on eridication.
Hope this is the cause !

my specialist said sphincter too tight, spasms, allows leakage/smell to pass through.
what is the cure? trying to remove internal hemmeroids for now, but is surgery the next step to fix spasming sphincter?

I had this problem and finally found the answer...I developed mild lactose intolerance! I started taking lactaid before eating dairy and it has pretty much stopped completely! Try it and see!

AC, if the doctor who diagnosed you, with a too tight sphincter, can't tell you how to fix it, go get a second opinion. The doctor should be telling you what you are to do next. That IS why you went to him, to get the anal leaking fixed, right?

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

ok , first of all its a great site.. and secondly the sufferer will only understand it value...let me give some good piece of info..
I was all normal then suddenly i observed that i am getting too swaety down there.intially thing were like others like avoiding plastic chair in public carry powder etc...slowly i observerd the sweating increased and one day i realised it does not smell like sweat ..
when i wiped nothing was there but clean .
later i observed a bit of stink after sitting long hours in office , it was then one day my colluege told me that he could smell something like gum....it was alarming for me as i need to do something now....so i started reading internet and came across all sort of bullshit info...i did not try any , i foucsed more on perfumes and wiping every 1 hr. however this does not help.at this point i got totally mad..!!!! what a hell ..a simple ass**** making my life hell.panic surrounded me ..
but finally i got few tips that saved me:
here we go( works only if u got clean leakage)

1) Find out what is the leakage ..sweat or Mucus ? mine it was Mucus. quite sticky and smells like a gum.

2) while u research more on why u leaking gum use the following backup plan..

a) buy some wet tissues , some good one ex :dettol, these are quite big and clean u nice, u can keep them in pocket.

b) dont just clean ur anal area, take one wipe and clean anal and surroundings, second one for ur butts , and if u wish third one for ur back just the area above butt. once done take normal tissue and make urself dry.

c) Repeat the process every 1 hr , even if u dont smell anything ..remeber others smell you faer better and you cannot smell urself becuase ur soo adjusted to it...for example when u get in trains it might stink with sweat but after 2 stops you feel nothing...

4) why this mucus is coming ..i cannot wipe 8 times daily in office ??????
check ur anus ...if u got wife or GF ask her to see if something abnormal ..if u too shy to ask them get a digital cam and set it on timing and take a nice shot of ur butt checks open..see if ur anus is normal...

5) My case i found a hairline crack in my anus with some mucus...so please clean ur anal area before showing to anyone.

6) hairline crack is anal fissure which my doctor confirmed today ..i am currently on fiber and cream to get it healed...

7) Please do not hide it from doctor just becuase u feel to shy etc..beilve me doctor whould have seem much bad as** before and he won't rank urs..

8) In summary to all who face anal leakage ( solid or liquid) ,....please do some reseach before going to panic mode....if u work in office take a week off and stay at home so that others dont get a hint on ur issue.
Personanly there could be only 2 things :
1) Some medical issue which doctor might fix
2) watch ur diet..dont eat all bad stuff in market junk etc...focus on fiber and fruits...
thansk everyone for reading this...hope this will help to someone with clean leakge.....
feel free to post ur comnets

folks,i had an anal fissure that required surgery. Not gay nor do I engage in any anal play. It was caused by me one day taking a dry poo and felt somethng sting and realised when I wiped there was bright red blood on it. -freaked me out.Needless to say it was lets try kiegal exercises or more fiber intake or eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water,stay away from spicy food.Honestly it didnt do a dam thing buy cause more frustraition. I now have anal leakage-even after the surgery-its been 2 years now. Every 2 hours I must go in and wipe useing some pads and witchhazel cleaning pads .At work i go into the restroom 4 times a day and do this routine and on hot sweaty days, even after this-My ass smell is awfull. Its embarrassing .I went back to the protologist several times and he says there is nothing he can do. sometimes this happens to people with anal fissure surgery but its a small percentage. I wish i would have not had the surgery 2 years ago and just continued to have blood when I wiped because at least I didnt have this funky smell now, its effecting my life. Nothing short but wearing depends underware or a dam but plug,Im only 33 years old. This whole thing has left me feel literally like shit! Metamucil, oatmeal, beans , fruits and vegatables ,its not working. Anal leakage for life-almost like a death sentance!

shitster, You need to find another doctor. I never heard of that. I have had an anal fissure repair twice. No anal leakage before or after the surgeries. Seriously, get another opinion. You are young and should not be dealing with stinky leakage.

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

It seems like his rectal muscles are weak or something. Like it's not tight enough the hold the poo in.

I have been back several times.The Dr said if i wanted to go all the way, that there are specialist in san francisco that will put sensors on my anus and they will detect weather or not im makeing correct alighement and tightness when it closes. He said it will cost thousands and its no guarnatee they can fix it. They wont give me any kind of plugs because they said im too young and that plugs would actually weaken my anus and make things worse for me. All i know is this. Im misearable. During dateing i can move a little bit and get a little wif and im horrified.I cant get rid of it with everything humanly possible i can do. When it comes to my sex life,It sucks. No oral because im afraid she will get a wif especially if i detect it. Its pretty much much stright sex, then off to the shower to scrub my ass again and apply the Beechwood pad and put on a new pair of underwood . When the women find out what problem i have, they soon leave me .Who wants a 33 year old man with a bad smelling ass problem . I think they see themselfs changing my diaper when im 40 . This is absolutely effecting my life in many ways!!!!!!!!

Ok so I am really happy to find this forum and to know that I am not alone. My problems started about 3 years ago. Over the years I have found many ways to improve my situation but not stop it. The first thing I would like to say to all of you is get a Bedet. They are not that expensive you can hook them to your original toilet and I would not be without it. At least I am kept as clean as I can until the next anal spill. Here is what I have learned. Getting in the shower and pointing the hand held shower head at your ass hole is a good way to clean it out only it sometimes makes it all worse as it is like having a enema and later the wetted and softened spill comes out. So I stopped this procedure. The Bedet is good because I feel cleaner. I can feel the poop inside me ready to come out but can't always feel it come out. I will go to the restroom hoping to not find the brown culprit but sometimes it is there and I have to do an emergency panty cleaning (gross) The first time I really knew I had a problem was beleive it or not after Sex. I smelled something and went to the bathroom. The force of intercourse pushed some poop right out of me. Imagine my disgust! Now I am aware of when this could happen and so only have sex when I know I don't have a resevoir waiting in my butt hole. After reading some of the posts I emailed my doc because I suspect I might have the fistuala thing. I will keep you aprised of my situation. I asked for the test. Also I find the IBS pill helps and when I am having an ongoing problem. I take 2 imodium every morning. I woul rather be a little bound up than leaking. My problem seems to come and go. Surely there must be help for us. So far my doctor has not offered any. I think I might also have a weak spinkter muscle because in my 20's I had a very large baby, I think he wrecked me for later.

Found poop streaks in my hanes when I woke up, again, this morning. Taking two scoops of miralax more than once a day is the cause, I hope. I hope it's not a fecal obstruction again.

Wow I'm not alone!!!
I've never had this problem before until a couple of months ago. I'm starting to smell at work and there's nothing I can do about it. I've tried tp in the butt, but I think it just traps the smell. I'm trying the fiber right now hopefully that works.

Hey everyone, I read that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) could be the culprit for this problem. The thing is, tons of drink and food products are made with it in America now instead of using natural Sugar for economic benefits.
Here's the link... http://www.vanadia.com/stopbeingsweet/comments/what_is_sweaty_butt/

I stopped drinking soda (I drank a lot) and have been reading labels to avoid eating foods with HFCS and the problem has seemed to have gone away.

shitster, I can't stress this enough. Get other opinions. You are too young and you need to keep looking for the answer. Don't give up!

Greetings my Mudd Butt Brothers (and Sisters):

How wonderful it is that we all can be joined her in support of one another as we battle this less than savory condition: AL.

I want you to know I have read this site thoroughly and am impressed with the support, humor and information available.

Without this site, I would not have learned what a "manpon" is and become aware of its pros and cons. ... I also would not have become aware of some of the other many creative and interesting approaches to dealing with and possible eradicating this dreaded condition.

It was also here that I believe I have found my answer. I worried about parasites, fistulas, fissures and other possible causes. But I think my answer lies in a good old change of diet, specifically added more fiber.

It's only been two days but I'm firming up. Less itching, less burning, less leakage.

I did about four days of diaper rash ointment. Witch hazel pads. Three showers a day. Lotta ass focus for the past week.

And I think I might have it licked (so to speak).

Thanks again to everyone. I will report back in a week or so just to make sure I'm still clean.

All the best ....

It would appear people have different problems and some things work for some and not others so I am not advocating this as a solution .. just (so far) my solution!

I am feeling better than I have for a long time. I used to have to take metamucil at night every day or suffer anal leakage the next day. I am now at a point where I have gone a week without this and I have changed nothing else except for the medicine I am now having.

Firstly let me say that this has been the result of hard work, ignoring doctors that tell you to live with it and much money (about 3000 all up over two years). It required a doctor that LISTENED .. and I can guess they are hard to find.

In any case I was having other symptoms. I was unable to absorb vitamins etc. They would test after giving me huge doses and nada! SO I was generally feeling out of sorts anyway. So FINALLY doctor sends me for a poop test. Full on poop test costing me 450 AUD. It gave my doctor invaluable information on whether I was a celiac, or had other problems digesting. All looked to be OK apart from the fact I had an unknown parasite in my system. The doctor looked up information and it appears that there are many parasites that are known, but far more unknown. As this was unknown the doctor could not give me "proper" medicine to get rid of it, however being a forward thinking physician told me to get onto something called "Gut Bug" (I am in no way affiliated with this company). These are apparently herbs (chinese was stated) so I started this and have not looked back (so far!).

My advice is this. Get a full on poop test from your doctor and have them analyse it with you. If you have a known parasite they can give you something for that. If they find an unknown parasite look into getting some of the medicine mentioned above.

The above is not for everyone, but it has helped be after two years of feeling very uncomfortable!

If I can get better so can you.

I have the sweaty ass problem as well. I'm 31 and have had it since high school. Just as an FYI to you all, I don't drink cofee, I drink way to much booze, I stopped smoking weed a few years back due to random testing (!!!), I have bad eating habits (i.e. no breakfast, usually eat two big meals a day, lots of fast food - volcano tacos rule!, etc).

Anyways, this site is the absolute "shit". I like drinking and over eating so I'm going to try adding fiber to my diet and hope it helps.

Good luck you funny bunch of stinky creatures.

Me and my sweaty butt out...

I have spent more than seven years with leaky-arse. I suffer today.
I have read the previous posts with guarded enthusiasm; however, I have almost shat myself three times laughung at many of the postings.

Currently, I have leaked, and are continuing to leak even as I try to type.
I think cheese is the bastard causing all of this...that and El Espelon mexican restuarant.
Any info on getting rid of skin tags?
Man, I'm a mess....

I have had a very sweaty butt with quite heavy flow for some time.
I have to use a sanitary pad to cope with it. I
prefer a looped pad because it holds the pad closer to my ass.

Cash, a doctor has to remove skin tags.

LMAO THIS SITE MAKES ME ROFL HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAH

I am so tired of it all. Sticky, leaky arse is destroying the simple pleasures of life.

So, as of 3:45 pm pm today, I am declaring war on my leaky ass.

It will begin with eating a plain bagel with half a container of cream cheese. I am enjoying it now. I shall then enjoy viewing my favorite Andy Griffith show reruns eating a plate of microwaved-burnt Doritoes covered with a cheddar-monterray jack mix and sour cream, heavily covered with Great Value taco seasoning. A quart sized Yoohoo will washing it all down.

What a suprise my leaky ass will get, tomorrow about 630pm...it won't know what hit it.

I'm going in...

I like the way you think, Cash.

what you guys call supplenbutt i call acid poop, my butt feels like i just pooped out acid logs and the excess liquid gets in my stretched butthole and it feels like my butt is on fire. and then it leaks later which sucks cuz it stinks. the worse is when i eat flaming hot cheetos i have red poop and acid burn on my butthole for hours. i then stopped eating the cheetos even though there my fave. after stressful work my ass smells like BO and shit soup anyone know the smell

Zoombie, I have the same clear mucus leakage as you. I was wondering how your progress is. How did the doctor find the fissure? What did the doctor do for you to heal the fissure? If you can please give me more info I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

...this isn't going well...I've been straining turdpaste for the last couple of days. This morning I nearly pissed and shat myself in the car trying to make it back from Walmart. I can't stand their bathrooms. A few years back I walked in on a stall that had brownie mix smeared all over the back wall. The only thing was, it wasn't brownie mix. Anyway, I digress; once I got home and passed the plate of burnt Doritoes (yes, I could tell) I noticed I had torn the button off my pants trying to get them down fast enough to unload. After a roll and a half of Charmin's best 2ply and several flushes later,my ass burned for two hours. Today I fidget like I'm sitting on jagged glass....I call it jagged-glass-arse.
Anyway, I will not give up. I found and bought a box of Grape Nut Flakes and enjoyed a big bowl. Maybe that'll clear things up soon. I'm not beat yet...

Ok so first off fuck what ever really causes this.
I've had id since the first day of school sophomore year in high school. I think what may have led to it was massive amounts of mt dew and jalepeno chips and holding in my poop for hours while playing video games. Im now starting my junior year and its still happening. everyday last year id go to the bathroom between class periods and wipe. sometimes spray axe. have gone to the doctor and had blood tests done. told me to take miralax. didnt help much. weed is not the cause because i had this before i started smoking. the doctors stopped making appointments for me so i guess they though i was a lost cause. after a poop i use a half to whole roll of paper. and it still feels wet. i decided to google it last night and found this. i am so happy and hope it helps. this morning i had a fiber bar and water for breakfast. it helps a little. tonight i ate 2 more and drank propel. i also took a bath with some kind of oats soap in it. let the water in my butt. surprisingly it helped. im really struggling with whatever this is called. almost failed lots of classes last year due to my concentration. i used to be very outgoing and talkative and touchy feely. now im scared to get close. this may be caused by an std. but im too scared to ask anyone. i would like a therapist so i can tell them this. dont know if parents can afford it though. whenever i wipe there is a smelly slightly clear liquid. im so confused about it all. just want it to stop. i need help. i dont know. fuck.

@ Uncontrolable in Iowa

I get the clear liquid too. You might want to check if you have a hemorrhoid. I seem to have my good days and bad days with anal leakage. I'm gonna start eating more fiber, and try to get rid of my hemorrhoid, I think that what may be causing the leakage. I want to figure this out, its very embarrassing going out in public thinking I'm clean, only to find out I'm not.

Uncontrollable in Iowa, you have to go back to the doctor. If you don't schedule an appointment it is assumed that you are fine. But you are not fine. If it is so bad that it is affecting your grades, you need to tell your parents and have one take you to the doctor. Don't stop going to the doctor until you are healed.

why in the hell would anybody wanna post problems about there dam leakin asshole on the WORLD WIDE WEB????????????????

how many of us held our poop in as a child?

I used to hold in my poop as a child a lot. I still kind of do, I don't really like using public restrooms, unless I absolutely have to.

Hind sight is 20-20. I think I've cured my anal leakage. This leaking stuff started after taking the antibiotic Cipro for a kidney infection I got from drinking water while visiting my mother at a care home. The water had e-coli in it. The cipro to cure the infection destroyed all the good flora in my intestines from the first pill. It also made my tendons weak. No one should ever take anti biotics unless there is no other way. I ended up curing my own kidney infection that the cipro didn't cure with blending up raw garlic in apple juice. The kidney infection was gone the next day. It must be crushed with a blender to unlock the natural antibiotic (Allison.)
Getting back to the anal itching and burning and sometimes slight blood spots on tissue. The anal problem started with the antibiotic, Cipro. Taking pro biotics after losing the good flora also made me burn down there. It takes a long time to get back the flora the antibiotics destroy. This makes it easy to have anal leakage. At this time I had been drinking coffee for 20 years. Coffee is high in acid and very hard on the digestive track. That includes from the stomach and all the way out. When I don't drink coffee for just two or three days the leakage goes away and I start getting better sleep. Eventually my brain starts working better too. I'm able to type this letter faster. Coffee, or tea are very high in caffeine. Both are excessive. I think occational chocolate is better for the caffeine because it's not so much. I can't seem to completely eliminate caffeine from my diet. I'm not sure we should. After a week I have to have something with caffeine to make me alert enough. I think moderation is the key here and coffee or tea in my opinion are excessive caffeine sources. There are a lot of people that develope heart trouble from coffee consumption. That should say it right there. No coffee, no anal leakage. Early to bed and taking time for recreation couldn't hurt either.

I as many of you had anal leakage for a little over a year. I went to the doctor after a couple months realizing that this could be a problem. I went through numerous tests, had a scare of anal cancer, diagnosed being lactose intolerant, you name it I probably was diagnosed with it.

So after spending tons of money and time at the doctors I stopped going, they were not figuring anything out anyways. I spent hours online doing research about my symptoms. I knew I always had hemorrhoids and I even told every single doctor I had seen and they told me that it was not the cause. I found that to not be the case at all. I had internal hemorrhoids that were prolapsing, which means they were coming out my anal opening. They were swelling and not letting my anus fully close, which led to the leakage.

So what I ended up doing was after going to the bathroom I cleaned thoroughly with baby wipes and then took a clean baby wipe and gently pushed the prolapsed hemorrhoids back up into my rectum. It took about a week for them to stay back inside for good. When you go to the bathroom push them up every time and eventually they should stay. If they don't you probably have a severe case which needs medical attention to help get rid of them. But by looking at the pictures of the bad ones...I think you would already be at the doctors scared as hell.

I have been leakage free for about 9 months now. It feels wonderful and I have not had a recurrence since that first week I started treatment. Do some research of your own. The poop report actually lead me on the right direction and also this link is very helpful.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hemorrhoids/DS00096/DSECTION=symptoms

I hope this helps some of you, good luck!

I have determined that anal leakage, usually almost clear like sweat and itchy, is. a reaction to leafy greens like lettuce and spinich. Cutting out coffee and other stuff didn't help. I dropped foods one at a time for 10 days to evaluate. I'm 53, slim, vegitarian, e ercise and don't drink. Eat pleanty of fiber and a good diet. I still have it if I eat spicy foods too. But ver manageable now. The trick is to find YOUR alergy, if yours is food cAused too.

THE MAGIC REMEDY FOR LEAKY RECTUM:

I'm a 58-year old male. My leaky rectum problem started when I was 19 years old. Putrid semi-transparent brown fluid would ooze out from my anus for about an hour after taking a shit.

This occurred about once a month during my twenties, two or three times a month during my thirties, once or twice a week during my forties, and every single day during my fifties.

What's worse, by the time I was 57, the putrid fluid would ooze out all day long. And often all night long too.

I would take a shit four or five times a day so my anus was severely inflamed. It would often sting and leak bright red blood in the afternoons.

I finally went to a world-class leading edge hospital specialising in gastroenterology. There, I received an all-encompassing check-up conducted by a space-age medical team weilding the latest state-or-the-art equipment. Like in Star Trek. My check-up included a barium enema X-ray examination, an endoscopic examination, a faeces sampling, and more. (No, I'm not rich. I got the check-up for free.)

No abnormality detected.

By this time, the putrid fluid was oozing out 24/7/365 and I had long become a recluse. (People would actually wince the instant the wafting smell reached their nostrils.)

Then I stumbled into this website and learned about Metamucil.

I tried it.

I am overjoyed to report that by Day 5 after starting it, the leaking had stopped almost completely. (It still leaks but only slightly and only for about two hours a day.) What's more, the inflammation has healed. The bleeding and stinging has stopped.

And the putrid smell is history!

Metamucil definitely is the magic remedy for leaky rectum.

But in the country of my residence, Metamucil is available only through middlemen who usually charge 7-10 times the U.S. price. I discovered that psyllium husk products by Yerba Prima or Now Foods can be shipped here directly at U.S. prices (plus extra shipping charges). I wonder if they are as good as Metamucil.

Does anyone know?

hey everyone, i share the same problem my butt has been leaking for about 3 months now, i notice i have non stop gas throughout the day everyday all day i mean at least 5 to 12 everysingle minute i feel a gas sensation but it feels like its directly on the inside of anus. After i shower this stuff still stinks pretty bad, bowel movements especially. When i pull my pants down to poop i smell a very akward foul odor. This stuff is really getting to me i hope someone can help me cure this thing. Thanks in advance guys.... BY the way a friend of mine told me to use Gold Bond after every shower & also this other product called Anti Monkey Butt im gonna give them a try but if someone knows something better out there please share. God Bless

Anonymous Coward who posted on 09.17.2009...You didn't say what your country of residence was but there are more things available than just Metamucil, Wall-mart has a store brand that is identical in composition, appearance and taste but at a fraction of the cost.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

Howdy fellow anal sufferers. Let me preface my problem by saying I'm not into butt play (I'll eat a girl's ass, but my hole is off limits). For quite some time I've noticed I had anal leakage...sometimes bad. My asshole also talks a lot of shit (flatulence). It was always intermittent but now is more regular (more so the leakage/itching). Now, the combination of anal leakage, which I assume is eroding the sensitive skin of my browneye, and sever itching has put me in a world of hurt. I was literally shaking trying not to itch my sore ass last night, took a tylenol, bath, and sleeping pill and the best part, feigned a fight with my girlfriend so she would leave without knowing the true problem is my ass.

"Go and see a doctor" is not so easy when this is a very embarrassing subject. Moreover, doctors are idiots, no offense - if they aren't right the first time then you are psychosomatic.

Despite the disclaimers of this site being a site for jokes not treatments/cures, I'd like to say I learned a lot. The following is what I believe is wrong with my ass as well as my planned course of action:

- I just got back from a year in Afghanistan, where I had to take doxycycleine (sp) daily to prevent malaria - I should have realized that an antibiotic would upset the "good" bacteria in my stomach, the flora, as well. As an infantryman it sucked going on hot patrols with a sweaty, itchy ass, which I knew would leave skid marks in my fatigues as I never wore underwear but it was more comfortable.
- I believe the supplements I take are partly responsible, many of which are milk derivatives, casein, etc. and I'm lactose intolerant
- I like a little spice
- I'm Sicilian so I love coffee
- I work out a lot and often have to take breaks to wipe my balloon knot
- See, its all fun and game with the guys - busting ass and half joking about how annoying an anal itch is. However, not so cool back in the civilian world, especially since its worse now!

My COA:
- I plan on introducing Metamucil fiber into my diet to prevent anal leakage - basically let my stomach get its shit together lol, ha shit thats funny, haha, happened again

- Use iodine to clean my dirty but and kill the bacteria
- Fuck preparation H and A&D ointment, that hasn't done shit for me - I'm going to keep it dry, back to goldbond. If any cream is to go near my hole I will consider desatin (sp)
- I'm going to do anal exercises to strengthen my anal sphincter muscles, which is cool b/c it strengthens the PC muscles simultaneously, thereby doubling as a strong dong exercise.
- I'm going to buy the probiotic "Primadophilus Bifidus" by Nature Way to restore my flora

Hopefully the aforementioned treatments will rectUMify my problems b/c this shit sucks! If not I will have to cut out protein supplements, which would suck ass and/or see a doctor. I can't talk to a female about this unless shes an old hag but I will be so embarrassed if someone has to stair into my browneye especially if I haven't manscaped.

Thanks for listening, and if you don't suffer from the same problems as me, hopefully you can still find the humor in my misery :-)

Listen people this is so easy to fix that you are going to be like DUHHHHHHH Ok you stink because your ass is leaking then you sweat in it and it just funks up take a quarter of a piece of paper towel and fold it into about a two inch wide by four inch long rectangle put it between your butt cheeks!! Ok you say nasty I say it absorbs the funk and when you go to the bathroom change it!! IT works and it is suprisingly comfortable!!

Why would you not want to solve your leaky ass?

Well, guess it's time to let my skeleton out of the closet. I knew that there were other people who have this leakage problem. I wipe my ass till it's sore and within an hour or so I need to run a wet beach towel thru the crack of my ass again. I use the folded TP trick but worry about about a heart attack and the doctor finding a roll of TP stuck in my crack of my ass. Tip,,,,poop first then take your daily shower. While showering, spray water up the mud hole while inserting your finger and clean that ole thing out. As long as you don't have to poop again during the day you will be ok. At least this works for me. I also have a question....My best friend and his wife also have this problem. Whenever they come over and lounge around there is an aroma which sticks to the furniture and surrondings which lasts for a couple of hours after they leave. I can't even lay on my sofa after they leave. How do I tell them that they stink? Maybe a few rolls of TP left on the coffee table and end tables?

I am Back with a Report .If you read my previous reports you know that having a leakage sucks. I just turned 34 today -Happy -B day to me. Here is the scoop.Went to another proctologist,My third and last one. He was aware of my anal fissure surgery several years ago and all the problems with leakage. He really couldn't do much of anything.When I dropped my pants ,He got a whiff of the shitster,the look on his face was Turned from a smile to like Damn !!!! You should have been there! I then said you know my dilemma now and he just said yes, you have a problem. Seriously there was nothing he could do but order me those special small cup like plugs that you insert into your arse and it seals it from leakage.He said he has a patient that has a similar problem and that this solved his problem. But I stood my ground and said that I don't want to have to do this every day for the rest of my life, I said I'm too young for this crap! He also agreed! After 5 more visits and going nowhere I told him forget it I'm done. Besides ,Cleaning my ass every 2 hours on the hour and wearing one of those beechwood anal pads at night , I still have the problem. Like I said the hot days at work, It's double trouble and it's embarrassing. I tried it all people. What else could I do? I soon went on a diet and lost close to 35 lbs of weight and walked 30 minutes a day at fast pace everyday . I have noticed with the weight loss that my leakage smell has decreased a lot.If your heavy set, You have a tendency to sweat a lot between your legs and that just makes matters worse. I now see I dont sweat as much which I believe is because of the weight loss (And no drinking of any soft drinks-sugar),Im now 200 lbs . But I still have the anal leakage. I honestly feel that sometimes, even with surgeries, diet, exercise that sometimes things like this just don't go away. I haven't dated in a year now because it still bothers me that much. It does effect your life . Be prepared for this answer although nobody wants to hear it because it could be your reality .

One more thing too.I drive a truck,with a seat cover.I found out if you put a couple of laundry dryer sheets under where you sit, on a hot day when you first get in you won't smell the faint vapor of shit when you get in.

I'm learning to live with it, although I will be alone!

OK I'm a beginner here. I had my first leak on Tues. after walking about a mile with bundles. I thought nothing of it til the following day when after a routine 7 mile run I found I had another "grease job". After not much activity the next two days I had minor "lubes". The amount of leakage appears to be directly related to milage.
I don't think this has anything to do with diet or diharrea. Because my two older brothers were both diagnosed with Crohns disease(you can imagine my anxiety on the toilet)I take a look at what I dump every day. And with a focus on fiber, stools for the most part have been text book.
This may not even be related but a really wierd change lately is the urgencey I feel in the morning. It feels like diharrea, feels like something that will be over with in a second but I sit down and its one of those perfect poops I was tellin' ya 'bout.
My compliments and thanks for whoever came up with this site.

I just came across this site while researching some symptoms I have had over the last year and a half that I now believe are related to a gluten intolerance. Last year I was going through the leaky butt with an oily deposit showing up in my underwear. I was getting a good case of red-ass, so I went to the ass doctor for a look. Since I was just turning 50 he did a colonoscopy, which showed me clean as a whistle and said I had "prusitis ani" and the leaking that was causing it was food related probably and gave me an elimination diet guide to follow, but that diet had nothing to do with eliminating gluten. The research I am finding on-line today tells me I was suffering from malabsortion from the problem with gluten and my body was not able to properly use the good food I was eating due to the gluten-intolerance. I was stressed at work, losing weight for no good reason seeing as how I was eating healthy and still working out as usual. I saw another doctor before that who gave me a shot in my ass for strep throat and she freaked out when she saw a rash at the top of my buttocks and thought I had herpes, it tested negative, but upon researching on my own it is aclassic rash that gluten-intolerant people can get. I have tried dilligently fro the last three weeks to avoid gluten and EVERYTHING is clearing up! After that doctor gave me the shot I went to a dermatologist who said it was atopic dermatitas and naturally prescribed cortisone cream, but why did it reappear? Most doctors do not think about celiac disease, but it causes that MALABSORPTION of your food which causes that oily discharge. Check it out and hope ypu find your answer.

Quit Coffee! The main problem is coffee! I used to have 8 cups of black coffee daily. "Soil" was crazily serious. After I quit coffee for 5 days, soil disappear! Don't be scared, just do your simple step to have your new/better life!

Just thought I’d give my report for all who suffer with poop butt and anal leakage or sweating.
My problem began long, long ago, exactly when I can’t say, but I’ve suffered these symptoms for no less than ten years, fifteen possibly.
After seeking help from several Doctors and Specialist, being told it was irritable bowel syndrome (what the hell is that any way?), having hemmroid surgery, and a colon resection for diverticulitis (one foot of lower colon removed). I gave up on medical professionals. I’m not saying others should not seek medical help, but for me after being given a clean bill of health I seen no reason to continue. After all that, the poop butt and anal leakage / sweating problems persisted.
I turned to the Internet for answers, and found this web site, Thank God! (I did pray to the almighty for a solution.)
I have come to the conclusion that the problem is 100% diet. (for me at least)

Take a look at this and you’ll see a diet with nearly 0% fiber, 0% fruits and no vegetables that weren’t fried in some kind of cooking oil.
My old diet:
Burger and Fries at the three of the main fast food places (Fast food w/fat, sugar and salt)
Fish and Chips ( Fast food w/fat, sugar and salt)
Pizza w/all toppings (w/fat, sugar and salt)
Steak and potatoes w/lots of butter(w/fat, salt)
Snack foods (all fried or made w/fat, sugar and salt)
Bologna and Hot dogs (w/fat, sugar and salt)
BBQ Chicken & Pork chops (w/fat, sugar and salt)
Coffee (loved it), Tea, Cola, Beer, Wine (sugar)
The list goes on.

To learn more about our addiction to this type of diet check out:
http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/hurtful-food-where-junk-food-cravings-are-born.html

OK, now that you’ve got the picture your on your way to a solution.

Your intestinal tract is HIGHLY IRRITATED because of this poor diet, so irritated, if you could look inside at it, it would look like your face after a day at the beach with no sunscreen. Red and raw like skinned flesh. Think about it, if your rectum is raw, red and inflamed then what do you think is going on inside??
Your body secretes these fluids in an attempt to flush away the irritants, like Coffee (the worst one), natural and artificial food preservatives, and other indigestible matter, and yes poop. Anything the body can not digest is an irritation and will cause the body to excrete a protective liquid or fluid to flush out and protect the digestive system from harm.
Yes, this problem is a good thing, so please listen to your body and make the necessary diet changes to correct the situation.

When your digestive system has been injured in this way, it needs time to heal, just like a flesh wound or any other injury, the digestive system needs time to heal. This recovery time can take weeks, even months to heal, so changing your diet for a few days may not be long enough.
Correcting the problem is not easy, it takes a complete change in life style, and learning what it takes to maintain a healthy digestive system.

The solution for me was to eliminate all the digestive irritants that I could, like, coffee ( the worst one), chocolate, tea, alcohol (because of the preservatives), food preservatives, deep fried foods and cooking oils. It’s impossible it eliminate them all but these are the worst ones. Do some research on Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) to get an idea what things are digestive irritants. Do some research on food preservatives too some of them are really nasty irritants.

Also increase the amount of daily fiber, the body needs about 30grams a day for a healthy digestive system, this also holds/binds the poop together and prevents it from getting stuck in the poop chute, it absorbs some of the intestinal irritants and helps eliminates them. I prefer “Konsyl original 100% natural Psyllium fiber”, it has a neutral flavor and can be used with just water or added to food without changing the taste. It tastes a little like what wheat bread tastes like.

Lastly, as most every one knows, eat more fruit and vegetables, I can’t express enough how important this is to a healthy digestive system, like the old saying goes “An apple a day keeps the doctors away” I’m telling you eat as many fruits and vegetables each day as you can, you can’t over do it. The more of these natural fiber foods you eat the less you’ll need the fiber supplements. You’ll feel better, be more alert and have more even energy levels all day long.

With these changes I have eliminated 90% to 100 % of my leaky, wet ass symptoms. The problems are gone to the point that I feel confident enough to be in a crowd without worrying about odor. When I use the restroom I don’t have to return ten minutes later, and the moisture I feel is what I consider to be normal perspiration now.
I have suffered these problems for years and understand what every one is going through so I hope this advice will help.

turns out i was just constipated (extremely) even though my poop was normal..two strong laxatives and im fine again. It feels so good to enjoy the company of others without being paranoid.
