16 months after EBRT I developed severe RP. Curiously, the sigmoidoscopy prep and procedure made the bleeding much less severe, but I still had mucus, wet farts, and urgency. Mesalamine suppositories, more fiber in my diet, and prunes have helped a lot to keep all symptoms under control. I don’t tolerate probiotics very well. They cause bloating, cramps, and gas. I’m also on iron supplements for mild anemia. I don’t use the mesalamine every night, but I’ll use it several nights in a row if I have a flare up. Over time, it, too, causes gas problems. I have to pay attention to keep all these remedies in balance, but it’s better than the alternative.
