So, liquid in = liquid out. I get it. 

So how do you keep your ummm, butt, from getting raw and sore with the diarrhea? 

I'm on day 2 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet and the runs have officially started tonight, usually when I get them I get raw and sore from wiping.

 I feel for you! Try the cottonelle or Charmin moist wipes. Good luck!

I keep baby wipes in every bathroom!  Worse comes to worse, try some neosporin.  I really feel sorry for you -- it's unpleasant to deal with.  It will get better, though.  Hang in there.

 Ok you ask crazy question, you get crazy answer...but I swear it works. Carmex...buy some in the tin, put some on the TP before you wipe. You know...the last wipe...after you already have the poo taken care of. It will not only soothe chaffing, but create barrier against further breakdown. Trust me, try it!

Baby wipes and a cream called Butt Paste works wonders!

Butt Paste is the best for sore butts of all sizes.  But it is important to note that it is found with baby diapers.

I have always used petroleum jelly aka vaseline (and it's cheap since you can find pj at the 99c stores).  Just smear a little on the TP when you wipe.
