Looking for a natural remedy for anal stenosis and stricture? When inflammation has been present for a long time in the rectum or anal canal, it sometimes causes scarring (fibrosis). Repeated ulceration and healing (often from proctitis) can also result in scar tissue. Surgical procedures for hemorrhoids, skin tags, anal dilation, sphincterectomy, etc. all cause scar tissue as the body heals the wound. Scar tissue is not as flexible as healthy tissue and the gradual build-up and thickening of scar tissue can narrow and constrict the rectal or anal canal, resulting in a stricture.
Sometimes this narrowing (anal stenosis or rectal stenosis) comes on very gradually, so you think you are constipated, rather than realizing there is a physical obstruction of scar tissue blocking your stool from coming out. Then of course, as you strain and push to get the stool out, this can cause more tearing (and as it heals, more scar tissue) along with hemorrhoids, strained rectal and anal muscles, spasm, and aggravated nerves. The pudendal nerve branches like tree roots all throughout the levator ani muscles and can become trapped or aggravated. Rectal spasming (cramping) and aggravated nerves will then constrict your rectum even further.
Natural Remedy for Anal Stenosis and Stricture
The great news is I have an “experimental” protocol for healing (dissolving) scar tissue in the rectal and anal canal that I developed and used on myself, as scar tissue in my rectum had reduced my stool to the width of a pencil! NOT FUN. And I was highly motivated to find a solution. This natural remedy uses powerful healing substances like DMSO, potassium iodide, aloe vera and colloidal silver. As you know, I test all remedies on myself first, then family members and friends, then LTYG Wellness Circle members and then we open it up to my larger pool of readers.
In Jini’s Natural Healing Guide: Anal Stenosis & Stricture I will give you all the details of how this protocol has worked so well for my own 23 year old scar tissue, plus one of my readers named Monica (name changed for privacy) who had a severe stricture in her anal canal. Monica even had her healing confirmed with a colonoscopy where her doctor said, “If I hadn’t been your doctor all along and seen your stricture for myself, I would never believe you had a stricture – the tissue is completely normal and there is absolutely no indication of where the stricture was.”
If you suffer from anal stenonis, rectocele or rectal prolapse, then you may find this video helpful:
Post any questions, suggestions or ideas below and I will answer you here (so that everyone can benefit from our Q & A). Also, if you try Rectal StrictureHeal, please let us know your results!
p.s. If you suffer from strictures in your small or large intestine, I have a separate natural healing remedy for that called Intestinal StrictureHeal – so use that one instead (or use both if you have strictures in your rectum and intestines).
Soar Higher!
NOTE: Great news! You no longer have to monitor your thyroid on these protocols (unless you have a known overactive thyroid – hyperthyroid), CLICK HERE and Dr. Tyler will explain why even high-dose, ongoing iodine supplementation is perfectly safe.
I am using a lot of your protocols on my daughter. I hope that she too will be med free really soon.
Thanks for all your help.

Just make sure you do the WORKBOOK that comes with LTYG – as that will give you a customized plan for her. All the best!
I know I may be in the wrong part of the section but I really like to know about the formula you can get could you please explain or send me some information on this or something I can get to help me please.
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for the inquiry. Are you referring to the formula for a Rectal Stricture? If so you can see all of the ingredients on this link: http://www.listentoyourgut.com/symptoms/33/anal-stenosis-and-strictures.html
Just click on the blue products names to see them in the shop. You can also search the shoppe link for any of the products here: http://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/

I have an abscess and a stricture, my abscess is on the perineal area and the stricture is next to my rectum apparently the bacteria has made a tunnel from perineal to rectum and is about 3-4 inches long I took pictures and it looks like skin tags, do I have to open the wound where the abscess is draining or can I just apply your formula on the skin?
I can feel the stricture band and I am severely constipated and am trying the stricture heal along with the magnesium citrate and potassium citrate. Nothing is working. Just blood and straining to defecate. I am also using Milk of Magnesia. I am curious if Jini has had any luck with others finding healing through this stricture protocol yet. I am only on day five with it so I probably have a way to go, but I really want the stricture gone. Is it possible that the stricture will go away or will it just soften up? I have also contacted a Craniosacral therapist but have not heard back yet. So right now what I am doing is the Wild Oregano, the stricture protocol, magnesium citrate and potassium citrate, Milk of Magnesia.
I imagine the person that Jini talks about in her book, Lori Main, is located in Canada and I am in the Bay Area in CA, so that probably wouldn’t be possible for me. I am having such a hard time dealing with the fact that I allowed this to happen to me. I wish I had never had the surgery to remove the perianal fatty tissue. I am positive the needle up my anus before surgery is what caused this. Any response you could give I am sure will help.
I will keep you posted on how the stricture protocol is working at a later time. Is it possible to write to Jini directly as I see others have in a forum type setting or does she not do that?
Hi CC,
I just read your post and was curious how you were getting on. Did the stricture heal formula work for you? I recently purchased all of the ingredients in hopes that this will soften/reduce my stricture but am trepidatious to move forward. Looking for some positive vibes from someone who has tried this with success.
Thanks!
Hi CC – Have you filled out the form and received the Rectal StrictureHeal Instruction ebook (above)? Just want to make sure you have the right one as the instructions and formulas are quite different from the Intestinal StrictureHeal one.
You know, given your history, you may have a scar tissue stricture there, OR you may have rectal spasming which can also completely shut off defecation. So I would also follow the instructions in the ebook above for Rectal Spasm – take the herbal muscle relaxants (crampbark or black haw), the magnesium oil hot baths and the hot castor oil pack on the levator ani muscles. Until you get the rectum to relax, none of the laxative agents are going to work. In fact, they are just going to increase the pressure and make the spasming worse.
The other thing is you could easily have myofascial and ligament damage from the surgical/med procedures. Again, I give instructions in the ebook for dealing with this. But since you are in CA, you are close to one of the BEST therapists in the world for this type of work – Mary Cox. I believe she is still at this clinic:
27401 Los Altos, Ste 488
Mission Viejo, CA 92691
Sorry, I don’t have her phone number. If you book with her directly (rather than booking through Clear Passage, it will be MUCH cheaper). In fact, when you find her phone number or email, can you please post it here? Here’s a couple of videos I did with Mary that will explain some of what you might be going through (be sure and watch both):
All About Abdominal Adhesions and Obstruction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpSv4Br8yjY
Tracing Pain & Dysfunction In the Body
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhA4nx0LHQw
Lastly, yes, 5 days is too soon for the Rectal StrictureHeal to work – 2-3 weeks is when you may first start to see change. I know how awful it is, so just follow the relaxation protocols above and book quickly with Mary!
best,
Jini
Do you have a anal fissure formula
Hi Mike! Yes there is a FissureHeal product Jini has made: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/products/imix-nutrition-fissureheal-suppositories-each-2×1-6-box-of-12
If it is still out of stock, there is a way you can make your own with this video – and add in comfrey root which helps with fissures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWM-xJkx3wM&t=247s
Also, there is this comfrey salve that is amazing for fissures to apply topically to the rectum: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/products/christophers-original-formulas-comfrey-ointment-2-oz

My problem is a urinary (urerthral) stricture / Acute Urinary Retention. Have been catheterized for 6 months and Urologist has thrown me under the bus: “I can remove the catheter but you’re on your own if you end up in emergency unable to void”. Your org is only one to address possible solutions as Uttarbasti is beyond California practitioners. Having 8-10 bladder spasms a day which I believe are my body’s reaction to catheter, and now am told that I have a bladder outpouching (right ureter) which can not be being helped by all the downward (Apana Vayu) strain and imbalance triggered by the foreign object. I am most interested in what I can eat/drink to prepare for catheter removal and what solution I can fill bladder (by catheter) before, or eye-dropper into urethra after catheter removal 🙁
MARK – Whilst you know I cannot give personal health advice, If I had this condition I may experiment with trying the following for myself:
a) Using a syringe to inject the 20% solution up the catheter. After removal, either apply to the urethral opening, but ideally, continue to syringe (or eye-dropper) up the urethral opening into the urethra. Sometime dental syringes are easier to use than droppers, but I would test and see.
b) Download the Intestinal StrictureHeal eBook as it has an ORAL component to the treatment. If this can positively affect strictures in the intestines, why not in the bladder/urethra? Also as the urine passes through the urethra, it may carry some of the solution with it.
http://www.listen2yourgut.com/blog/natural-healing-remedy-for-intestinal-strictures/
Lastly, I would use EFT to address my feelings about the “strain and imbalance triggered by the foreign object”. Emotions – particularly negative emotions, fear and trauma can hinder healing just as much (and sometimes more) than physical factors. I would NOT neglect this important step:

You, of course, must only do what you feel safe with and see the Disclaimer below.
PLEASE post back here and let us know what you decided to do and how it went.
p.s. If I still felt unconvinced about the emotional healing component, I would here:

Hi Jini;
Just a note to thank you for what you do. Every time I read something posted by you or have read something from your book, it sends me off exploring my area and having other things pop up that might help me. I have written to you before and am now trying viceral manipulation for my anal stricture. There are a couple people left in my area to try. Everyone I have seen has said that floor therapy will probably help. If I don’t get the help I need, I will travel to LA, CA to see Mary Cox. It’s just that it is an 8 hour drive for me and I wouldn’t know where to stay or how long I would be there, but thanks again for what you do! If you have any other suggestions or opinions on what I am doing, please post.
I have been told that my proctitis is all healed and I am left with scar tissue. I have been on Chinese herbs for 7 yrs and I know you are not fond of that concept, but they healed the tissue that was all inflamed and I could not have felt better in my whole life until the stricture.
Do you know if strictures tend to get worse or once they’re created they remain the same size?
Coral – are you saying that you tried Rectal StrictureHeal and it did not work? Please give me more details of which formula you used, which application method, how long, etc.
Or you can download the feedback form here, fill it out and email or fax it to me:

Then I can give you feedback from there…. thanks.

Hi Jini, my name is Michelle. I am a mother of 2 and I have had Crohns/ UC for over 20 years. I have been on all the drugs (prednisone, steriods, enemas, remicade, humira, 6mp, sulfasalazine, asacol,..) you name it! I am now in remission however I have developed an anal stricture about 5 years ago. I have had it dilated several times and have recently been told I should look into a permanent ileostomy bag because of all the scar tissue build up. My last dilation was 3 days ago. I have been reading for almost a year about the natural healing approach and am willing to give it a shot! Couple questions?CAn I buy the formula with the potassium iodine, DMSO, Colodial Silver and Aloe Vera already made in a suppository form? Also, how long does the garlic smell last? Where can I buy the Black Haw? How can I get the meditation music? Because the DMSO penetrates the tissue should I be concerned about clearing out my bowels prior to use. I am the type of person who would want to do this correctly so I would need a clearly written out step by step process on how to do this:) Optimisitically yours!
I had hamerhoids then i go to a doctor who cut it by thread therapy then hamerhoids go away but small fissure comes now i have a problem nearly same as anal stenosis or rectal stenosis ( am not sure actualy)
symptoms-
diarrhea from 3 years since i had hamerhoids ( sounds stunning??)
not exactly dilute but it is 50% diluted than normal stool
stool is like wire coming of anus 😀 lol but its best example which clearly shows narrow pasage
hard sphincter muscle
some time i can feel stool up to anus point but can deficate them because no presure and passage is blocked when i try to exert presure
again and again bowel moment atleast 5 times a day
is it anal stenosis?
Which ointment should i use?
Well, whether you have scar tissue from the cutting. Or from repeated tearing (fissure) and healing, doesn’t really matter. It’s still scar tisuue.
However, if you still have hemorrhoids, then you should deal with that first:
http://www.listentoyourgut.com/symptoms/18/a-hemorrhoid.html
Then after you’ve healed the hemorrhoids, you can determine whether your anus is tight due to emotional trauma and stress – in which case you need biofeedback therapy or EFT:
http://www.MeridianTherapyTechniques.com
OR whether you have a build up of scar tissue, in which case you can try Rectal StrictureHeal (still in experimental stages). See post above and fill in the form to get the eBook for free.
Hi Jini,
I think I may have posted in the wrong area already, but here I go again. I had a hemorrhoidectomy in 2008 and have a small amount of scar tissue that is easily irritated. I have a few scars right on the wall of my anus and you can feel a rough patch of skin where i was cut just a little past the opening. Since the surgery the opening has narrowed, and that area where the scar is can be irritated very easily. My question to you is do you think the Rectal Stricture protocol will dissolve the scar tissue that is there? If and when it does dissolve with it be smooth like the rest of the skin down there and be more elastic? Right now it is very rigid. i went to the doctor a few months ago and they told me there is nothing that needs to be done about the scar inside, but its just more annoying than anything because it hurts and sometimes bleeds.
Thanks!
CJ – yes, the protocol sounds like it would be promising for you. Please post back after a few months and let us know how it went for you. You may also want to combine usage with cocoa butter suppositories, I feel this will help to keep the irritation down.
Hi Jini,
About 5 yrs ago I had an aal fissure healed, and after a terrible proctology pt. developed another one going on 2 yrs now, i do ave history of constipating ad bad bloating no dr knows why they put me on everything. Im sure i ave interal hemmorhoids and a very tight sphincter muscle with scar tisse from last fissure. After reading your books I tried acupuncture, EFT,craniosacal therapy, fissure heal, still take healthy trinity probiotics, comfrey ointment. I is ordered a infrared laser pad. I am now 36 wks pregnant (miracle) and I believe everything helped me thank you. What do you recommend I do after the baby is born that is safe while breast feeding? Not sure if metacleanse is safe to take for my constipation as I currently take konsyl. Don’t know if I should or can start to Heal recal stricture or fissure first and wat is ok when breast feeding. Thank you for videos on pooping they helped a great deal.
I contacted Eileen fissure she does do phone sessions do you recommend that ?
Thank you
Hi Cyndi,
The best thing to do is to consult with your physician if you’re unsure whether or not the protocol is fine to continue using while you are breastfeeding. He or she should be able to tell you if the ingredients will have any adverse effects. Sorry for the late response!
Kind regards,

Hi Jini,
I have had Crohn’s since 2001 and in a recent colonoscopy it was discovered that I have a very tight stricture in the sigmoid colon. The GI was not able to get past it because it is very narrow so I am going for a CT virtual colonoscopy in a few days. I am not sure yet if this is caused by inflammation or scar tissue but I assume that at least some scar tissue may be present.
I was asked to look into surgeons but I feel that would put me on a worse path in the long run. I will be beginning humira soon and have been on pentasa.
I am very interested in trying the intestinal strictureheal and I have already read the ebook. I have heard that humira can lead to more scar tissue hence worsening strictures but as I mentioned mine may be from inflammation and respond to the medication.
I would prefer to take a completely natural approach to my healing but I am hesitant to do it for now after hearing all this news from my doctor.
I am wondering if I can begin taking intestinal stricture heal while on humira and pentasa or if it is something that should be done while not on these medications. Should i try to reduce inflammation before dealing with scar tissue or deal with both simultaneously?
Thank you for all your great advice and research!
Hi Ava,
It’s always best to check with your physician if you’re unsure whether any of Jini’s protocols will conflict with prescription medication. Generally, it’s easier to deal with scar tissue if there aren’t any other symptoms present.

Hi Jini,
I started taking the Absorb plus shakes on January 31st so today is my 15th day. I have had the liquid stools and some formed. I usually drink 3 shakes per day and add oil to 2 of them along with alternating the CoQ10 and the Grapeseed extract. I take the Vit D3 and the biflavanoids 2 times per day. I started taking the probiotics on February 7th but noticed with your oil of oregano plan you do the oregano 3-5times a day and probiotics once so I just started that today. I think I have strictures. When my solid bm pass through they cause my skin to stretch up and I massage it and then it is able to pass through. My doctor told me that if I had surgery to remove some of my small intestine it would be at least 18 inches. I have had no surguries and have not been on any medicine for over 2 years. I have been drinking Kangen water and that has helped alot. However my abdomen was sensitive to touch between my belly button and my pubic bone so that is when I stumbled on your info. Ever since I have taken the Absorb plus shakes my abdomen is not tender. I however was wondering if I should do the stricture protocol and if that is ok to include with what I am doing now? And I was going to add the calcium nano minerals, Mucosaheal,and Aloe Vera Juice. Are all these ok to take together? Another thing last night when I was looking through all the info on your site I felt anxious and overwhelmed I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction with all this? Thanks Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
It’s great to hear that the products have helped with the tenderness in your abdomen! Yes, it is fine to take all of the items you mentioned together. For more information on how to schedule your supplements, check out the link below:
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/confusing-supplement-schedule/
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with information at this stage so a good strategy is to start with the most prominent issues and work your way through the appropriate protocol(s) in the Listen to Your Gut book.

Hi Jini,
I found your site looking for alternative treatment to treat colon stricture in my dog. I’m like crazy trying to find something that can help him. Last July, he was diagnosed with Anal Sac Adenocarcinoma. He had surgery to remove the tumor, but the margins were not clean, so, in September, he received 20 radiation treatments targeting the tumor site and also abdominal lymph nodes that are the first place for metastasis in this kind of tumor. The abdominal ultrasound show a thickening of the colon wall in the portion that was expose in the radiation field. Consequently, he has difficulty to do poop. He tried very hard but also is very painful, break my heart to see him in so much pain. For this reason, I would like to know if you have any suggestion that I can try with him. Is there something that I can do to help him? How can the stricture in the colon disappear? Please, help me. The veterinarian don’t know how to treat, they only suggest colonoscopy, but I don’t want to put him through this test
Hi Idania,
I wish we had an answer for you but I’m afraid that we have not tested any of Jini’s protocols on animals and don’t have any plans to do so. We wish you the best of luck with your dog and hope he recovers.

Hi idania, for your dog you should buy some food grade diatamaceous earth…an amazing product which should clear Up any bowel trouble your dog is experiencing… Dave
Yes, I have heard great things about diatamaceous earth from a number of pet owners. Also, I would get your dog off all packaged foods and feed him his natural diet of raw meat and organs (with a few veggies as would normally be found in the stomach of prey). Google this as there are lots of books and info available on feeding dogs raw. The difference in stool quality between dogs and cats fed raw vs. processed foods is amazing – plus their stool and breath doesn’t stink.
Hi,
I am also interested in seeing if this remedy can help my dog with rectal scar tissue from radiation. I bought the ebook and want to try. I see this post is from 6 years ago. Has any advances been made to determine if this is affective in dogs? Original poster, did you find anything to help your pup? Jini, I already feed my dog raw food for a year now. I’m hoping to hear back. Thank you so much!
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for reaching out. Sorry, but we don’t have any data or feedback about using the protocol in the manner you mentioned but we’d love to hear how it works out for you if you’re considering it and decide to proceed..

Hello Jini, While doing a Google search, I came across your site. Please contact me as I have much to tell you and I would like to be profiled/interviewed by the media to share my situation and get some answers. Basically-I am a 60year old male with a history of Crohn’s Disease (Regional Enertitis) going back to 1968. 1997-A routine colonoscopy gone bad (I was told my GI track was friable) at the time I was getting iron injections b/c I was told I was borderline anemic. The colonoscopy in 97 resulted in a puncture in the colon, and thanks to an xray during recovery, the puncture was discovered. I had 75% of my colon removed. I was supposed to be free of Crohns after the surgery, however, at that time (May 1997) my then wife was living in Dallas, TX planning on uprooting us to move there. Although she flew in to Philadelphia, where we were (Bucks County), this acrimonious “wife” decides to have the movers box up our little townhouse and proceeds to leave Phila with my son and dog back to Plano/Dallas in order to make settlement on the house in Texas, oblivious to my medical and life needs, prognosis and fails to get medical clearance, instead trying to sue the GI doctor.
Actually, for abandoning me in the hospital while I was in Intensive Care. She has me fly in 2 weeks after hospital discharge, again, failing to get medical clearance. Most people on the planet would have stayed put, and cancel relocation. Vitally important. More on this when you contact me. I did get divorced 1 ½ years later, and this repugnant, acromonius ex wife , clearly was not looking out for her family-her husband. The stress made things much worse.
I have been back in Phila since 1999. I’ve been out of work and on disability for 4 years. Since 2010, I find out I have Diabetes type II, Psoriasis, Severe Sleep Apnea, and an urgent need to get both knees replaced. I have no savings. So I cannot get surgery. And I may have bleeding from the stricture. Im told, take care of the Crohns before the surgery. Now I am straining, I know I have had the stricture a long time, as well as gallstones. I’ve had 2 or 3 hospitalizations for a partial bowel obstruction. There is evidentally a second stricture, perhaps at the
anastomosis where the resection occured. The questions include, is the severe pain from the knees (miniscus tear, and now no cartilidge) or the stricture, or both, or could it also be nerve pain from diabetes? Or side effects from 1 or more drugssuch as Januvia) I am on a ton of medications. Please contact me for more info and your feedback. Thanks, Larry Fulmer. designer58@comcast.net

I’m using the formula for fissures and strictures and it is working! I use it topically every night (sometimes I miss a few) and it is decreasing the pain hugely!!! I can also feel that the area is less inflamed and healing. I’ve only been using it one week!
That’s great news, Talisha. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
Hi! I’m wondering if you had confirmed improvement, v and how bad your stricturing was?
Dear Miss Patel,
6 weeks ago I had a surgery to remove my hemorrhoids for the second time. Last surgery I had was in 1983. My anal opening has been significantly reduced may be to 5 mm. Perhaps a stricture causing anal stenosis. The lining of my anal canal has become hard and quite inflexible over about an inch or 2. I have to push and strain to defecate and the stool size is very small. Am I a good candidate to use your Anal Stricture Heal formula. I am just a little afraid of using DMSO in your protocol as I have read that it can sometimes be fatal. Also, my doctor has put me on Anal Dilators which I use with Xylocaine Gel. Can I use your formula along with dilators and the gel? Please reply promptly as I going through a tough time. Thanks

Good morning Jini,
First of all thank you for sharing your precious experience with other people.
I’m an Italian woman, I’m 30 years old and I’m really desperate…I fight since 2008 against an hernia in my rectum that’s spoiling my life. I’m really exhausted. No medicine, no diet, no treatment work for me to alleviate my pain and my daily hardship. Surgery is impossible because dangerous…doctors say I’m too young.
I really don’t know what to do.
I knew you following your videos on YouTube and I red your advices and your natural treatments. I pray every day to find a solution and in this moment of my life I really need an help.
Do you think some of your treatments work for my rectocele too? If yes…what’s the better for me?
I really thank you for your attention.
Lovely.

I had intestinal and rectal strictures and most of the other symptoms referred to in your site. Because I was traveling, staying with friends and in hotels I wasn’t able to do the protocols correctly. I had to simplify and adapt.I used 70% roll on DMSO on the abdominal stricture area once or twice daily. I put the DMSO on a cocoa butter suppository and used that once or twice daily. I took 1/2 tsp 70% liquid DMSO ORALLY in a glass of water before bed. When it all became too stinky for my long suffering husband, I began taking
N ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE (NAG) 750 mg am and pm orally AND RECTALLY.
Extremely healing from mouth to anus. ( read the studies about it.) THANK YOU!
Hi Dionne,

Hi, can you tell me more?
Hi Jini!
I have been having terrible symptoms for almost 8 months now: weakness in my left arm and left every time there’s ‘activity’ near the anus. I thought it was cancer, and was barking up the wrong tree. I finally landed on one of your sites and read about Anal Stenosis, etc.
I began to notice that most of my weakness is occurring simultaneously with this anal ‘activity’… which usually lasts a long time after the activity.
I’m also now getting some mild pain down there too.
I realized I had a hemorrhoidectomy 25 years ago, and that maybe this could be the culprit. I’ve been pretty constipated for years… though my stools are still usually normal sized.
Anyway… I just wanted to know if you think that my current weakness/neuropathy could be linked to this 25 year old operation… and if so, how could the nerve damage have taken so long to appear?
Also… is there hope for this to heal?
Thanks… I just ordered the E-book and will devour it… but I’d like to hear what you think too before embarking.
Do I need to worry about going ‘septic’ here?
Steve

Hello, I just had surgery done about 4 days ago. They did a partial sphincterotomy and anoplasty. In my understanding I had a scar tissue (Fissure)and problem with my Sphincter Muscle and they removed the hemeroids I had. I’ve suffered with constipation pretty much all my life and I guess over the years and now that I am 41 years old this came upon me and boy I have to tell you it is painful. Since the surgery its been so so but I had a question for you on how do I deal with the healing process of dealing with the bowel movement since the surgery? It has been my worse nightmare of pain and I cry everytime I go because it feels like someone is pooring alcohle on a open wound. Once I am done I sit on the sith bath right away to get some relief but then after it takes about almost a few hours for the inflamation to relax or I am taking NORCO for the pain and IBP 800mg. Is there something you can suggest that I can do to get through the healing since the surgery? I am so desparate, please help me.
Hi Coquese,
Jini has used comfrey ointment repeatedly on broken skin for herself and her kids. She has also used it as a suppository and in a Healing Implant Enema to stop colonic bleeding. You, of course, should do your research, follow your naturopathic doctor’s advice, and only do what feels safe for you.. Please note that professional herbalists and naturopathic physicians take a very different stance on comfrey use from the established authorities. Many herbalists and NDs feel it’s safe to use comfrey as long as you don’t use it continually, long-term. Therefore, they recommend you use it in moderate doses for 3 to 6 months, then take a break of 1 month to allow the liver to cleanse properly, then resume use for 3 to 6 months, etc. as needed. Comfrey has become one of the FDA’s targeted substances – likely due to its effectiveness, so when you do your research, keep that in mind. Here’s a link to a product like this that Jini uses:
http://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/christophers-original-formulas-comfrey-ointment-2-oz/
For more ideas, you may want to check out Jini’s symptom page on anal fistulas and abscesses here:
http://www.listentoyourgut.com/symptoms/19/fistula-anal.html
The protocols at the symptom page above are designed for much more extreme situations than what you’re dealing with but could be useful.

Hi, I was wondering when to use the rectalStitureHeal (DMSO) remedy.
Do you put the drops in after a bowel movement or do you also need to flush after a bowel movement and get that fluid out to try to make the rectum as clean as possible before applying DMSO?
Also, is using fissureHEAL the same or can you just insert it after a bowel movement, and no flush needed.
Thank you
Hi Roger,
The short answer is that you should probably have a bowel movement prior to using the rectal Strictureheal and clean the area but no flush is strictly necessary (if you’re referring to an enema or something). The whole process is explained in the instruction eBook which you can get for free at the link below if you don’t already have it:
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/natural-remedy-for-anal-stenosis-and-stricture/
Regarding FissureHeal, yes, you can just insert it after a bowel movement and no “flush” (enema etc) is necessary.
Kind regards,

It says to not use plastic with DMSO.
What would be the best dropper in that case to administer DMSO?
I read that a copper dropper is sufficient but I noticed that the end of it was rubber and was wondering how do you get 30 drops into the dropper with ought the DMSO touching the rubber squeeze top, or is there no way around this.
Thanks so much.
Roger
Hi Roger,
Jini recommends using a glass dropper or a natural fiber paintbrush (for external applications). You should be able to draw in the DMSO without touching the rubber but you may have to do the 30 drops in 2 or 3 separate pulls depending on how big your dropper is.

Hi Jini, Quick question on which protocol I should be looking at – Rectal or Intestinal Stricture Heal. Had Rectal Cancer Tumor removed last Nov – along with a temporary ostomy. Had reversal in Jan – then in April had another surgery with the following: exploratory laparotomy, extensive lysis of adhesions, colectomy, resection of colorectal anastomosis, formation of new colorectal anastomosis, diverting ileostomy, takedown of splenic flexure. In June – had ileostomy takedown.
Feeling like I’m getting another stricture – and most likely lots of scar tissue again.
Can you advise which protocol I should be looking at?
Thank you –

Hello Jini, I just downloaded your ebook for anal stricture healing for my husband but I am unsure if this is the best plan for us to start with. About 10 years ago, my husband was admitted into the hospital and put on an IV so his intestines were basically inactive for about a week. When the IV was taken out, he was supposed to be put on a liquid diet and then transition to solid foods but the nurse made a mistake and brought him a solid meal. His next bowl movement caused multiple fissures and severe bleeding and his intestines and rectum have not been the same since. He fissures internally with every bowl movement and because of that has lots of scar tissue built up as well as hemorrhoids, nerves aggravated by the scar tissue and inflammation. A year after the initial trauma he had a doctor look at it and the doctor said it was in horrible condition and I’m sure it’s only gotten worse up there over the last 10 years. He is in chronic pain that ranges from very bad to excruciating and debilitating. He says it feels like someone is sawing his insides with a sharp knife. He also has the spasms described in the ebook but he said that these come and go and are not a constant thing for him. He does not want to have a colostomy bag and has resigned to live with the pain. He is a very tough man and does really well with the pain, rarely talking about it and does not want to let it dominate his or our family’s life but it would be amazing for him to have some relief. There are days he just has to lie still in bed because the pain is so bad. So my question is what should we address first- the fissures, the hemorrhoids, the scar tissue in his rectum and intestines… I would assume dealing with the scar tissue first would make since because that seems to be the root of the rest of the problems. Also, do you have any dietary recommendations for healing the gut while we are doing this protocol? I’ve been looking at different aspects of the GAPS diet and the Body Ecology diet to help.
Thanks so much,
Leah
Hi Leah, I cannot give advice on your husband’s situation. But if it were me, I would use both Rectal StrictureHeal and FissureHeal suppositories each day. I would use a FissureHeal suppository whenever I am unlikely to have a bowel movement (usually at night) and then the StrictureHeal in the morning or afternoon. This way I could both heal and dissolve scar tissue at the same time, while getting the maximum chance for relief. Rectal StrictureHeal should also take care of the hemorrhoids.
Have him listen to this audio (free gift) when he is lying down in pain:
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/free-audio-healing-session-for-rectal-issues/
Re. Diet, both of those are good choices. But if you’re also dealing with intestinal infection and inflammation, then I would look at using my Gut Infection protocol in addition to diet:
http://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/jinis-healing-guide-natural-treatments-for-gut-infection-softcover-by-jini-patel-thompson/
*this book is also available in eBook format, if you prefer.
Hope that helps and let us know how it goes. It is just horrific that your husband has been dealing with this for 10 years – words fail me. But thank god you have never stopped looking for help for him – he is blessed to have you.
Jini, thank you for taking such an important stuff in your website and in your books, for consultation and clarification.
I’m 47 years old (live in Brazil) and I did a removal of hemorrhoids and prolapse using PPH stapler. In the middle of the surgery the stapler failed and only tapped half of prolapse and hemorrhoids, and the remainder was removed using the traditional method of surgery.
3 months after the surgery, I have a lot of scars, anal restriction and anal pain for 2 or 3 hours after evacuating. Now my stools have the diameter of a pencil and need urgent help.
I read your books and decided to apply your Rectal StrictureHeal formula and protocol, but I’m having problems to find Aloe Vera Juice. What I found here has Glycol. Do you think that I can use it?
I have now fissure and do not have here your FissureHeal suppositories. What do you recommend to cure Fissures? or What can I do to buy FissureHeal?
Thank you in advance for your answers
AMERICO – I would just use filtered water instead of aloe vera juice then.

Hello,
Thank you for this blog!
Is this protocol also effective for rectocele? I have a small rectocele with a lax perineal wall.
Curious why colloidal silver is part of the protocol. Is there a pathogen concern as well?
Finally, what are your thoughts on the use of serrapeptase to dissolve scar tissue?
Hello Bella,
Jini has a different protocol for rectocele which she talks about at the link below:
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/natural-treatment-for-rectal-prolapse-and-outpouching/
The colloidal silver in the anal stenosis protocol is included to assist the healing process because it is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. The use of wound dressings containing silver is increasing due to its effectiveness in fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA.
Regarding serrapeptase, Jini has read that it has shown a lot of benefit with internal scarring when taken orally. She considers Serrapeptase a good adjunct and more of a longer-term therapy. Definitely worth taking, but it won’t do the targeted treatment that this protocol will. i.e. this protocol is much stronger.
Kind regards,
Justin

Jini–I have a post surgical stricture about an inch in from my anus, most of my rectum having been removed in surgery. Is it possible to deliver the rectal stricture heal (20%DSMO, etc) by incorporating it into a home-made coconut oil suppository. The suppository is something recommended by a holistic practitioner.
Thanks.
Hi Joe,
Sure, that’s theoretically possible if you can get the suppository to solidify enough so that you can deliver it to the target area. Jini would love to hear how that works out for you if you decide to proceed. Otherwise, the dropper method Jini outlines in the eBook should also work since the dropper should be plenty long enough to apply the formula to the area you’re describing.
Kind regards,
Justin
Customer Care
Yeah, I’ve been using the coconut-oil suppositories for a while, but without the preparation added. I make a bunch at a time and put them in a (specially colored) ice-tray in the freezer.
Hmmm Joe – not sure how freezing will work with the DMSO – you’re not supposed to refrigerate it because it separates out from the formula. So it would then not stay in dilution, but would clump together in a concentrated dose. Why don’t you try using cocoa butter instead? Very healing and also solidifies at room temperature. Here’s my vid showing how to make suppositories this way:

Hi, I was diagnosed with Crohns a little over four years ago at the age of 18. I had a very complex fistula system in my rectum area and it was very inflamed. So the result was a colostomy. After four years, my rectum area has become a lot better and the fistulas seems to be gone. Since I am battling for reversal, this was good news to me, but I have one problem; anal stenosis. And it is severe. It is the result of healing from the inflamation and fistulas. This anal stenosis is the only thing standing in my way before I can get a reversal, so I am very desperate to find a solution to get rid of this stenosis. And I really believe that the stenosisformula will help me, but I live in Norway, and here it is illegal to import the ingredients in the formula. Is there any way I can get a hold of the ingredients from ltyg?
Hi James,
It’s great to hear that your fistulas seem to be gone! I wish I had a better answer for you but I’m afraid that we’re unable to ship anything to Norway for the reason you mentioned. We have no issues shipping to Sweden, Denmark, and the UK so, if you have any friends or family in any of those countries with whom you could meet up and get the ingredients, that’s a potential solution.

I have adhesions (recently discovered) from a surgery 16 yrs ago, that just caused me major problems starting last year. Physicians wanted to “slice and dice me”, but I chose the “Clear Passage”treatment instead. It would seem that I also suffer from anal stricture’s and a Hemorrhoid (now with all the bowel straining). So I emailed and asked Cris at LTYG the following question, >>” Question, I have both the “Hemorrhoids” and “AS” problem. So I will be taking both protocols. In using the HemorrHeal Liquid Formula for Internal Hemorrhoids do I just take the AS Formula at a different time of day or what?<<
The reply was for me to be careful with the amount of "potassium iodide" I take when doing 2 protocols . "That's it, my answer to the question"!!! This answer certainly doesn't answer the question! Da! each protocol calls for a certain amount of "potassium iodide". Do only stay with one protocol or can I do both at different times of the day.
Hi Rick and thanks for following up when Cris couldn’t answer your question sufficiently. As these are “experimental” protocols, it’s hard for someone who hasn’t personally used them to get a handle on them. Anyway, I would use ONLY the protocol for Anal Stricture and that should automatically take care of your hemorrhoid at the same time. Please let me know if it doesn’t! Also, be sure and watch my videos to make sure you are defecating in the right position and using the counter-pressure (if needed) to eliminate straining – watch the entire playlist here (except you won’t need #5):
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHgeHcpwJOlQi5WMddMAQ6WtnI-oYfi5W
Rick, how was your experience with clear passage???
Jini– In the Oral Protocol for Intestinal Stricture, is the DMSO the key ingredient. It’s the one thing that gives me a bit of pause based upon the little knowledge I’ve been able to get outside of your website.
I’ve been using the Rectal “dropper” procedure, as well. I had most of rectum and most of sigmoid colon removed a few years ago and had a serious stricture about “an inch in.” Gastro-doc was very surprised at how supple the area had become.
Hi Joe,
It’s great to hear that the rectal protocol seems to be working well for you. If you’re still a little leery of the DMSO then you might want to check out the blog post below where Jini goes into detail about it:
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/dmso-and-safety-cautions/
If you decide to omit the DMSO from the formula, you might still see positive results. Either way, we’d love to hear how it goes!

JOE – for the Oral Protocol, you should really follow your gut. Maybe for you, the topical application with DMSO will be enough…. Or maybe you only need a tiny amount orally, or every 2nd day, and so on. Your body knows!
Hi Jini,
I just wanted to tell you that your video #2 (which is a very fitting title), is terrific.
I was/am far to lazy to check if it’s solely for women, but if I neglect following the ‘vagina’ steps, I imagine that it would be good for men, too.
I have multiple issues, regarding the colo-rectal region, and have had 10 major surgeries and counting.

Hi Jini,
I’m trying to recover from a hemherroidectomy and follow up sphincterotmy and most recently a fissurectomy with botox after getting a major problem with muscle spasms preventing blood flow to fissures which caused a fistula. Recently, I have had a major increase in nerve pain and soreness. I think this might be due to scar tissue forming together with nerve pain caused by the botox wearing off? I have read your suggested protocol for stricture heal and was hoping this could help me with the scar tissue problem? What specific advice do you think you could give me?

Hello, I started the protocol on the 13th Nov. After a week or so I got a little constipated and strained a lot. I began to bleed and experienced great pain even three days after my problematic bowel movement. I stopped using the DMSO and it’s been a week now but I am still not healed. My question is: has the DMSO weakened my tissue and this is why I felt that bad? Can I use it again? If yes when? Thank you
Hi Delia, you really need to stay on top of the constipation issue so that you are not damaging the tissues you are trying to heal. From my personal experience, it feels like the formula makes the tissue more tender. Which, if you think about it, it would have to! Scar tissue is very tough, inflexible tissue. So breaking it down into pliable, flexible, soft tissue would involve an increase in vulnerability. Therefore, you must also be protective of that tissue and not traumatize or damage it during the process. If you don’t have good, reliable ways of managing/eliminating constipation, then please get my book, Listen To Your Colon. I would not start the StrictureHeal process again until you’ve got the constipation handled. In the meantime, you can use these remedies to heal the rectal tissue:
http://www.listentoyourgut.com/symptoms/17/an-anal-fissure.html
You can also use these remedies during the StrictureHeal process to protect the tissues and help prevent any further trauma in case you are constipated from time to time.
Hi Jini,
I’ve been using the 20% Stricture Heal formula now for one month applying it once a day. I generally feel that my fissure is getting softer and that my anal canal is getting softer. Having BMs goes pretty easy and I generally don’t worry too much on the subject altogether.
My stool has pretty much remained of a similar size though (about the width of my little finger) which has made doubt if it actually is working.
Also the other day I forgot to take my laxative, which I have been taking now for about 5 months since I had my herrmaroidecthomy and the result was that I needed to do some straining during BMs and I was sore hours afterwards.
Don’t know what to do at this point. Go to the 30% formula maybe? Could I be doing anything else wrong? hold I try finding a therapist instead maybe?
Hi Lars,
If you still have the ingredients then you may want to try the 30 or 40% formula to see if you experience better results. There are also a few other things in the eBook that you can try (if you haven’t already) which may accelerate the healing process. Thanks for taking the time to share your progress and we’d love to hear how it all works out for you regardless of what you decide to do to address the stricture.

Hi there. Need help on what protocol regimen to take. Here is shortened version of my background:
I have UC for a few years. Was on remission for a year and symptoms came back one year ago. Symptoms are not as severe as before. Don’t want to have a colonoscopy until I’ve already done other natural ways of healing. Had a food intolerance test. Am on a simple rotation diet according to doctor’s orders. Following Low-FODMAP and AIP diet too. Wanted to do Absorb Plus because it tastes great, but I can’t have dairy, vanilla. I have a long list of reactive-foods. Sun Warrior tasted bad for me and I didn’t like texture because I can only have it with water. Attempted clear broth diets, but I became weak. Making pureed foods that suit all my diets put together and hoping that will sustain me which is fine.
After taking probiotics, l-glutamine with aloe, (ntzymes from my doctor), your recommendations of b-50, systemic c, (vitamin d 10,000 iu from my doctor), e-gems, co-enzyme q10, (propax vitamins from my doctor which is strong on the B-12), Udo’s oil, (liquid omega 3s from my doctor) mucosaheal, (and enema probiotics from my doctor), most of my symptoms healed.
But here is what won’t go away:
Symptoms:
– no urge to BM – bleeding only happens in and with defecation – if I BM, unformed stools sometimes in light color with blood – if i feel urge, most times nothing comes out – sometimes feel pressure on anus when I do anything throughout day, like wanting to BM, but nothing there – few times (not as much as before) can’t tell the difference between urge to BM or pass gas..when I think it’s gas, sometimes mucus comes out – if I BM, which is rare, a few, thin small balls come out with some blood – blood and mucus when I wipe.
I don’t know what I have. I thought constipation, intestinal stricture or bowel obstruction (but I don’t have pain with urge anymore), anal stenosis with cramping, but I don’t want to buy all the products for the strictureHeal until I have your opinion..
Also, can I eat solid food or should I rest bowel with the pureed.. if pureed, for how many days.. do I need wild oregano or castor oil and if so, for how many days.. if i do a bath, for how many days.. are there other things you recommend?
Thank you!
Hi working2heal,
I’m afraid that we’re unable to give you an opinion about your specific health situation as we are not health professionals (Jini included) and not qualified to do so. Since you aren’t sure what you have, the constipation protocol is the simpler and more affordable way to go if you want to start there.

I live in Ontario Canada and am 54 years old. At 36 I had a sphinterectomy. The last 11/2 years I have suffered from chronic constipation and unbelievable pain. I have bowel movements every morning like clockwork but they are extremely painful to pass and are regularly followed about an hour later with spasming that can last 2-7 hours a day. I have had all the routine tests including a recent MRI and anal manometry Today my doctor told me I need surgery as the MRI revealed I have rectal prolapse, rectocele, and chronic spasming in the sphinter muscles which explains why my bowel movrments are so difficult to pass. The anal manometry results have not come back yet but I know for certain I failed the anal balloon test. Sex has also been very painful as of late and my gynocologist says I have vulvogynia. I am currently on magesium citrate, eat a balanxe diet with lots of fibre and water but none of this helps. I am worried that the surgery wil make things even worse for me. Could you please comment on my situation?

How do I get the stricture heal formula? It is the same as the castor oil pack? Also, if I buy castor oil can I make a pack to insert into the rectum? I had hemarroidectomy (one) and 3 skin tags removed. It’s been over. A month and it hurts so much when I do a bowel mov,we even if it’s soft!
Hi Yola,
The formula is included along with a lot more info in Jini’s Rectal STrictureHeal ebook. You can get the ebook for free by filling out the contact form in the blog post above; we’ll send you a download link after you submit the form.
If you have any questions about the protocol once you’ve had a chance to take a look at the ebook please don’t hesitate to ask!
Kind regards,

Hi Jini,
I was suffering from hemmohoids and anal fissure since about 15 months. I had to underwent rubber band ligations and sphinterectomy and recovering from surgery. These surgeries have resulted in scarring and stenosis. I gone through the literature posted on your website and interested in trying the remedy for strictures/ scarring. I have also read and heard a lot about Serrapeptase enzyme supplement to treat the scarring and strictures. Have you heard about it?
Thanks,
AM
Yes, serrapeptase is a good adjunct treatment. On it’s own it is unlikely to have a strong enough effect in my experience.
Hi Jini, So I’ve followed the Stricture Heal protocol now for a bit more than 2 months. Started at 20%, then went to 30% and quickly thereafter continued to the 40% one.
I’ve generally been quite unsure about the results. I’ve felt things becoming better gradually but when I’ve been of my laxatives I still had rather uneasy BM’s.
So about a week ago I thought about giving it another go and stopped taking the laxative. The result was that my faeces ever since have been close diarrhea in consistency. A part from that everything’s fine though and generally I feel cured.
Do you know about this phenomenon? Has other people experienced it? I’ve been more os less constantly on a laxative (Duphalac it’s called – Spain) for about half a year, so that my anal canal wouldn’t suffer more then necessary. Could it be the after effects of this that have to wear off?
And thank you so much for all the effort you are putting in to helping me and others with these problems. I really appreciate it!
Lars
Hmmm… that’s a really good question Lars and a bit of a puzzle. I can’t actually think of a reason that diarrhea would be the RESULT of stopping laxative use… Perhaps you have just picked up a stomach bug at the same time? Or perhaps your gut flora is unbalanced (it will be if you don’t take Natren probiotics or eats plenty of naturally fermented foods) and you now may have spastic colon, rather than constipation.
I urge you to pursue holistic healing (if you are not already) and to heal ALL the root causes of constipation – not just the structural one:

*At the very least, follow the Constipation Remedy at the end. Good luck and keep us posted!
Hello Jini & LTYG team,
Thank you for your courage in tackling these issues and willingness to take the risks that you do. I just recently ordered the hemorrhoid and stricture heal books and DMSO/ALOE/IODINE combo solutions. I had a couple questions though before I jump into the protocol.
I have noticed that my stools change almost daily based on what I eat. They range from extremely large to pencil shaped, and I haven’t been able to figure out why or how. Regardless they all usually come with some blood from hemorrhoid or stricture after having a BM. Additionally, the color of my stools is not normal and ranges from yellow to other colors based on what I eat, and there is undigested food often in my stools. I also experience some pain in the gallbladder pancreatic area which makes me think it is a bile duct issue. I have had screenings and blood tests done, and they have not revealed anything significant, but based on my observations I believe it is a bile duct issue that I need to resolve as well in addition to my anal hemorrhoids and strictures. I have a few questions as I go forward with my protocol.
1) I know you are not medical professionals, however, do you have any recommendations for bile duct health/improvements from your experience?
2) From what I gather, the protocol for hemorrhoids and strictures is generally the same? If I follow the application of the DMSO solution for one, it is intended to heal both, is this correct?
3) I also see a naturopath who has given me a “bottoms up” balm to apply to the anal area which contains the following: olive oil, beeswax, marshmallow, yarrow, St. Johns wort, butchers broom, which hazel, and vitamin E. (what do you think about using this while I am using your protocol as well?)
4) Lastly, what do you think about the use of preparation H or wet wipes after having a BM? These wipes are generally much more easier on the rectal region than dry toilet paper, but they contain some ingredients that I’m not sure about applying to the region while on this protocol.
Thank you so much for your time and I appreciate your generosity,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
To answer your questions:
1. I’m afraid that we do not have any recommendations for bile duct health or improvement. However, if you are supplementing with bioflavonoids, they are said to stimulate bile production.
2. DMSO is used in both protocols and they are similar so it’s possible that you will see some progress with both hemorrhoids and rectal stricture.
3. Jini’s protocols undergo a lot of testing and tweaking before they appear in her books so she does not recommend combining other remedies with her protocols. There’s also no way of knowing how the substances will interact with each other and it can become very difficult to determine what the problem is if you have an adverse reaction.
4. We don’t have much experience with these but it appears that there are alcohol-free offerings that contain nothing more than aloe, chamomile, and vitamin E on the wipe. Something like that would probably be fine to use.
Kind regards,
Justin

Thanks very much for the quick response and all the answers to my questions. Will relay back my results from the protocol.

Hello I am currently on 50% DMSO but I feel There is no improvement. I’m already using the protocol for 2 months and the scar is the same. The only difference is that after I insert it into my rectum I feel a sort of pain that lasts no more than a minute. Should I increase it up to 60% ?
Hi Delia,
Jini doesn’t recommend exceeding a concentration of 40%. If you’re following Jini’s recommendations on page 21 of the eBook regarding magnesium citrate and using a stool softener or bulking agent in addition to a 50% mix of the Rectal StrictureHeal formula then you may want to consult your physician for other options if you’ve seen no improvement for your particular situation. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback about the protocol but it doesn’t work 100% of the time, unfortunately.
Kind regards,
Justin
Customer Care
Ok I understand. One last question: since I may be stuck with this stenosis all my life is it ok if I will take every day magnesium citrate and bulking agent in order to have soft BM? Should I stop using these during pregnancy because I plan on having babies inthe near future? Or can they take part of my diet for the rest of my life? Thank you
Hi Delia,
You shouldn’t have issues with the magnesium citrate but with all stool bulking agents – like psyllium, bentonite, etc, be very careful if you have an intestinal obstruction or stricture. In that case, start with a very small dose (1/2 tsp) and build up very gradually to test for tolerance prevent plugging up your stricture or narrowed section.
Kind regards,
Justin

Hi, I had hemorrhoid surgery 4 months ago and recently been diagnosed with anal stenosis. I was advised to have another surgery to solve the problem, but I am wary since the healing process of the last one was so painful. Hence here I am wanting to try your anal stricture heal protocol.
I am currently drinking metamucil and miralax to help with bowel movement. I also drink 2 tbsp olive oil and aloe vera juice as additional ammunition. So far it has helped a lot in reducing the pain though I still feel a slight soreness after BM. So my question is for your protocol, do i still need magnesium citrate, potassium citrat and flax/chia/metacleanse given kiralax and metamucil seems to provide the same function (at least to my understanding).
Thank you.
Hi Ika,
If what you’re using is effectively softening up your stools enough so that it won’t interfere with the protocol then there’s no issue with sticking to using those things rather than Jini’s recommendations. We’d love to hear how the protocol works out for you and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions along the way!

Hi LTYG team
I’ve been writing here a couple of times before. The short story is this: I’ve been using the 20%, 30% and 40% Stricture heal protocol for a little more than 2 months altogether. I stopped talking my laxatives to check out how things were going. Result was the stool kept being “laxative-like” quite fluid and thin. Now about a month has passed and the situation is that my stool is now changing from diarrhea-like in consistency to small cylinder-like balls to more normal ones the width of my index finger.
As my life pretty much has gone back to normal I don’t really suffer from this – just find it a bit strange… I can cope with my stool not being regular and all but I would like to hear what you think could be going on? I generally eat fairly healthy all though a bit irregularly. Otherwise I’m in a quite good condition health wise.
Hi Lars,
We’re delighted to hear that you aren’t suffering and that you’ve achieved a degree of normalcy. I wish I had a better answer for you but I’m afraid that we aren’t qualified to speculate on your stool situation as we are not health professionals (Jini included). If you have a concern you should definitely consult with your physician.

hi, how can i get this Rectal StrictureHeal Ebook – as im from Romania and i suffer since 2008 of this problem,i inflamated even the pudental nerve,thx a lot
You just fill out the form in the post with your name and email Maria, and it will be emailed to you.
Hi Jini,
I have downloaded your eguide on the rectal strictures and also ordered the dmso+sski. I just had a hemorrhoid surgery using the scalpel about 8 weeks ago. The surgery left me with a scar just a few millimeters away from the anal opening. My CRS has been dilating it, and bowel movement not what I use to have, which is depressing for me.
Like to know could I just use dmso, sski and saline water?
Do I need as much as 15 drops, as the strictures is very near the opening of the anus?
Thanks
Hello Ming,
Thank you for your interest and questions. We do not have experience on using this formula with saline water so can not comment on if it will work as well. However if you decide to try it with that we would love to hear how it works out for you.
Also if you are concerned the 15 drops may be too much at once we strongly recommend starting at a smaller amount and work up from there to see how you can handle it.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with or if you have any other questions. Also we would love to hear how it works out for you.

ive a similar story except that i have no idea how or when it started. i can go for nearly two weeks without BM, when i do its painful and for the days running up to it im lethargic and in aching pain from my abdo down my legs. ive sat trying to have a BM and nearly passed out with the pain. im on a movicol powder laxative to soften stools and anytime i go, its very thin and sticky. i feel that everything is blocked behind the inner sphincter and theres no give. i simpy dont eat certain foods that can ‘get stuck’. i had a procedure to widen the sphincter, but its not made much, if any difference and was given dilators which i find very painful to use. when i go, i am fine for a few days because i feel like i purely clear my bowel, but anything further up my intestine comes down and im back to square one. i have had 2 sigmoidoscopies, both clear. no haemmoroids/tags. no other medical complications. i work 9-5 in public and simply couldnt see me doing suppositories 2-3 times a day.
Hi Brandon,
If you haven’t already, you might want to sign up in the blog post above and we’ll send you the Rectal StrictureHeal book for free. The formula is delivered once per day via a dropper and doesn’t use a suppository so it might work well with your particular situation.

Dear LTYG,
I live in Indonesia, male, 42 yeras old and really interested to try your protocol and have received the eBook. I’ve suffered from Stricture colon more than 6 months and I’ve gone through both colonoscopy and CT Scan. The scan confirmed the stricture occurs for the length of 6cm and located only 3cm from rectum ring. The doctors here have recommended me to go through operation, cut the portion of the strcten colon with the risk of damaging the rectum or make a hole on the belly with artificial pipe to release the stool (forget the medical term for this).
So both options really scares me 🙁
Please advice which formula I should try and how to order and ship to Indonesia. Really looking forward for your kind feedback as I do not want end up having hole in my stomach.

Hi Jini,
I was having pelvic floor dysfunction in the beginning of the year, then took a Botox injection to the pelvic floor for relief. Then I started taking some stimulant herbs (senna, cascara, aloe) for motility afterwards. They were working well for a few months but I think I need to get off of them since they are causing discomfort, and my stomach is always hurting now. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for someone in my type of situation. I tried an elemental diet earlier but for some reason the liquids just stay in my intestines, and I have urinary problems as well. I am really praying for some help.
Hi Chris,
We do definitely recommend continuing to consult with a doctor for all of those different conditions going on. But also recommend to be sure to follow your gut in what you feel is best for you with what the doctors recommend. As for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction here is a few suggestions Jini has:
http://www.listentoyourgut.com/symptoms/23/rectal-spasm-and-levator-ani-syndrome.html
As well as some suggestions in this ebook:
http://www.listentoyourgut.com/healing-resources/44/jini-s-healing-guide-natural-treatments-for-rectal-spasm-ebook.html
I personally have Pelvic floor dysfunction myself and I have found pelvic floor physical therapy, exercise, emotional work, and meditation helpful. Jini definitely suggests to work on emotional work as well in your physical healing.
Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

I am a 60 year old male in good health however, approximately 5 years ago, I has several banding procedures done to treat internal hemroids. This provided some relief but due to poor diet and weight issues, they came back. The doctors then performed a stapled hemmorhroidectomy. Since this time, I have had a burning/aching pain in my anal area. I have had botox injections to treat a diagnosis of Ani Levitor Syndrome. This did not provide relief. I did try your treatment for a couple of weeks and began to worry that it might aggravate the levitor muscles. however, I still have a very tight/small anal canal and constant chafing (due to any exercise) of the anal tissue. I believe this was due to the surgery and how much tissue they removed in addition to the possible levitor muscle spasms. What would you recommend? I am wiling to give your treatments more time if this might help reduce the restriction/tightness of my anal opening.
Thank you.
Hello Joseph,
Thank you for your question. Have you seen this post on treatment for Levator Ani Syndrome? http://listentoyourgut.com/symptoms/23/rectal-spasm-and-levator-ani-syndrome.html
If you haven’t tried those options yet I would start with that. You may also want to look into a cleanse and diet if you feel that may still be a problem and beneficial to you. I recommend researching more on the website about these options by searching about elemental diet, probiotics, and oregano oil. If you are interested in more information on them or have any questions please let us know.
We would love to hear if you find any relief from these treatment options.

Hi Jini,
The eBook says that Oregano oil can be used in conjunction with the mixture – does it need to be separate or can it be added in without taking away from the benefit?
Hello P,
Thank you for your inquiry. Jini does not recommend mixing the oregano oil with the StrictureHeal formula. If you decide to do the Wild Oregano Oil Syringe Protocol she then recommends using the StrictureHeal a week after it. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Ruth,
Thank you for your question. We cannot guarantee for certain that it will work without the Potassium Iodide. However, it has helped others before, as Jini does recommend leaving it out or taking it out of the protocol after 2-3 weeks if effecting the thyroid levels is a concern for you.

Hi,
I am living in the Netherlands.
I had a fissure with a bit of scar tissue causing pain. The fissure was opened during a small surgery but that caused scar tissue and a stenose which caused more scar tissue over time. This week I went the hospital and the doctor said that there was a serious amount of scar tissue which he removed as the stenose was heavy and I am on anti inflammatoire + anti biotics medicins until next week. I have read your blog and it is interesting and I quickly ordered 70% Dmso and 30% Aloe vera gel. My questions are:
1-I have read that this was too strong for you, so maybe also for me for the beginning, should I mix this with water or so?
2-Would it be dangerous to use them, as my anal part is bleeding during the bowel movement.
Thanks a lot..
Hello Ahmet,
Thank you for your inquiry. So to answer your questions, you should never use more than 50% DMSO to 50% Aloe Vera Juice. You may also want to start at 20% DMSO first as well with how strong it is. Also Jini highly recommend to not use other brands other than her recommendations. However, if you need to she recommends to be sure to research that the ingredients are the same as she recommends, and nothing else added that could possibly be harmful. For example Aloe Vera Juice is different than Aloe Vera Gel. If you do use water instead of Aloe Vera Juice we recommend that it is at least filtered.
Jini recommends not to use the formula until the bleeding has stopped.
If you had a fissure and scar tissue, these protocols may be more beneficial to you than the StrictureHeal:

I have 2 keloid scars, and 1 internal adhesion(underneath the navel), 2 external hemorrhoids & possible internal hemorrhoids. I would like to know whether I could use Jini’s internal & external hemorrheal & do the intestinal stricturheal (oral & external) silmultaneosly for 3 weeks. My current thyroid is ok except a little higher TPO level. I plan to do this for 3 weeks and then see my doctor for thyroid function test.
Hello Ruth,
Thank you for the inquiry. The Hemorrheal and Strictureheal are very similiar and Jini would advise just doing one of them at the time. We would recommend doing the Strictureheal as it has the extra ingredient that the Hemorrheal does not. That would definitely be a good idea to check the thyroid after the 3 weeks after using the Potassium Iodide. If you feel you need to do the protocol past the 3 weeks but do not want to use the Potassium Iodide past that time Jini recommends still doing the protocol with the other ingredients for up to 3 months.
You may also want to look into this protocol for the scars as well: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/how-to-release-and-dissolve-scar-tissue/

I suffered very cold hands and feet. After ONE week of ONCE DAILY OF Oral intestine strictureheal, I stopped using Potassium Iodide. Today my body odour was intensely smelly (like rotten vegetables).
My question is:
Is this rotten smell from my body odour could be reflecting the DMSO with colloidal silver and oregano oil are working together in my gut to kill bad bacteria?
Hello Ruth,
The odor comes from the DMSO alone. Jini talks about that a lot, and says it often smells like garlic, but some have had variations on what they thought it smelt like. It isn’t pleasant, but she believes it is worth it and it goes away as soon as you aren’t using it anymore. Please let us know how it works out for you, and if you have any other questions.

I felt very embarrassed. I am thinking to stop. Not sure whether my adhesion will get better. Any suggestion?
Hello Ruth,
Understandable. Jini feels it is worth it, but it is ultimately up to you what you feel is best to do. Perhaps you can try to cover it up with another smell you like. Such as a essential oil you like. Just make sure to know the usage safety if you do that. It is hard to say if the adhesion will heal in such a short time or not on the protocol.
Best Wishes,

Hello,
Just wondering if you have a list of testimonials that the protocol for strictures has actually worked? I healed my Crohn’s when facing a colostomy because of peri-anal fistula/abscess and severe Crohn’s in rectum 16 years ago on the Specific Carbohydrate diet. I foolishly aggravated the disease when I cheated a couple of years ago and now I am struggling with an anal stricture, and I believe one in the Sigmoid colon. I take Hydro-c from ageless nutrition which loosens up the stool wonderfully with no cramping or side effects, but I would like to not be dependent on this.
I am tempted to try your protocol, but I there are some potential side effects to thyroid etc. so I would like to know this has worked for quite a few people first.
Do you have a spot where you have successful testimonies?
THanks! Katie
Hello Katie,
Great question. We do have a few testimonial on it, and are looking to put together more information on how it has been helping several people since the protocol first came out. You can see those testimonies here: http://listentoyourgut.com/testimonials/19/strictureheal.html

Katie, I’m in the same situation as you, so curious if you tried it??
I felt the adhesion is loosen and the swelling above my navel has come down yesterday (after ONE week on the Oral intestine stricture heal protocol). I have cut out the Potassium Iodide for 3 days now due to my thyroid haroshima. I have reduced the dose of DMSO (1/8 teaspoon of DMSO with 60mL aloe & 1 teaspoon of colloidal silver) for the last 2 days due to foul smell. I also put on strong perfume (OPIUM FOR MEN) in my body to combat the smell. Please comment whether this dose mentioned above that I am taking could possibly be still effective? What is the maximum period of using this protocol without Potassium iodide?
Hello Ruth,
Jini does recommend to start with 1/8 teaspoon of DMSO if needed, and then build up, so it may be ok. However, we don’t know for certain if continuing at that amount will be effective enough or not. We would be interested to hear if it works out for you. The protocol is typically used for 3 months, however it can be used up to 12 months if severe enough and if you either get off the potassium iodide, or monitor the thyroid, which you have already done.
Best Wishes,
Rachel

Can I start using your products if I order them today? The passage is narrow and still bleeding after a toilet visit. The problem is the healing does not progress as good. Can I use them or should I avoid one or another:
DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) 99.9% – 4 fl. oz Glass Bottle
1 x DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) 99.9% – 4 fl. oz Glass Bottle
George’s ‘Always Active’ Aloe Vera Juice – 1 quart / 32 fl oz
1 x George’s ‘Always Active’ Aloe Vera Juice – 1 quart / 32 fl oz
Source Naturals Wellness Colloidal Silver (30 ppm) – 2 fl oz
1 x Source Naturals Wellness Colloidal Silver (30 ppm) – 2 fl oz
Ingredient Depot Potassium Iodide (SSKI) – 1 fl.oz
1 x Ingredient Depot Potassium Iodide (SSKI) – 1 fl.oz
Hello Ahmet,
Yes, for best results we recommend using and combining all of the products for the stricture. However, please keep in mind if you use the Potassium Iodide past three weeks to be sure to have the thyroids checked. Please let us know if you have any other questions and how it works out for you.
Kind Regards,
Rachel
Customer Care
So I need to use the Iodide 3 weeks and stop after that, I didn’t get that sentence.
Hello Ahmet,
The Potassium Iodide can sometimes effect the thyroid function, so we recommend to not use past 3 weeks unless you have your thyroid checked regularly to be certain it is not effecting the thyroid badly.
Kind Regards,
Rachel

Thank you. Just wondering once the topical strictureheal mixture is made up, can the mixture be kept in fridge for later use. Does the mixture have to be made up fresh before using?
Hello Ruth,
It is perfectly fine to reuse the mixture you have already made up. Jini does recommend refrigerating it after it is made up, unless you live somewhere cold and keep it at room temperature. If you refrigerate it she recommends taking it out 1-3 hours before usage to get it at room temperature again.

Thank you for your reply. After using the topical stricturheal protocol, my stomach is softer. My tongue has white coating. I have been using wild oregano oil twice a day & only ONCE a day the oral strictureheal. I have to cut out fruits and unfortunately the Absorb plus is possibly a bit sweet which may encourage candida growth. So, I am using only 1 scoop of Absorb plus. Is it ok to combine Natren Probiotics with other brand of Probiotics like Candixa brand.
Hello Ruth,
The sweeteners in the Absorb Plus are all from natural sources, but there is a chance if you have Candida they could possibly effect that. We do not have any information on the Candixa brand probiotics. However Jini has yet to find a brand she trusts other than the Natren probiotics that follow the protocols she has researched and believes a probiotic needs. I recommend you checking out Jini’s free book on the probiotics that explains what you should look for in a probiotic.

Hi,
I have purchased your products and use it 1 week now. To give you a background, i had a lot of pain and my Stenose with scar tissue was very heavy with a lot of bleeding. I was afraid to go to the toilet as the pain was too much and I could not handle it. Even with the blood and not healing wounds I decided to go for it. I had nothing to lose. I was fearful that it could cause burning with the wounds if I started using your mix, but that didn’t happen at all. actually It gave me a relief.
NOW?
After using the 30% formula for 1 week? I am very very satisfied!!! I hope this will continue. The bleeding has gone less, and even the pain is almost gone. The stools has gone wider and look healthy. I don’t fear anymore to go to the toilet.. I am so so happy as I am able to do my work again. I will keep you guys updates but this looks very promising. As the building pain I suffered for many years..I hope this is going to be the game changer.
I will come back in 1 month for more updates!
Hello Ahmet,
Thank you for the update. That is so great to hear your success with the StrictureHeal formula! We would love to hear how you continue to do. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Jimi I am a male 70 years young . a runner, kayaker etc. And in good health . Maybe to healthy in some ways. I have had peyronies for about 5 years . I have taken Serrapeptase , L-Carnitine internally . And used sski iodide and Dmso externally . I don’t really know what I am doing , I know it had helped . But I could use a little guidance . Any thoughts on this would be grateful .As of last year we cant buy Dmso in Canada . so I was wondering if you can still ship it here. Thanks
Hello Fred,

I would really like to try this protocol but have some pressing questions for my particular situation.
My stricture has formed as the result of the surgical removal of a lower bowel/anal tumor only 5 weeks ago. The narrowing was discovered yesterday by my surgeon at a follow up visit and he stretched it manually- ow! I have less than 4 weeks until he examines again.
Here are the specifics: I have no waste traveling through the lower bowel at this time as I was given a temporary ileostomy at the time of surgery. Can I still follow this protocol? And what changes should I make?
Thank you in advance for your response!
Hello Tracy,
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are not medical professionals and cannot advise you on how to use this protocol in your situation. We would recommend contacting your doctor with the protocol information on if and how you can use it. If you are able to we would love to hear how it works out for you.

Hello…
I had anal stenosis after hemorhoidectomy. 3 days ago my doctor had manually dilated my anus…so bad hurt till i cry. Can i using your anal stenosis protocol to open my narrow anus again back to normal?
My condition:
1. Im 8monts pregnant, can i still using the formula?
2. Im in Indonesia, can your formula sent to my country?
3. How long the protocol working? ( I had hemorhoidectomy about 6 weeks ago)
Hope you answer my question.
Thank you
Hello Dona,
Sorry for your pain. That anal stenosis has been successful to help the narrowing of the anus. However, we cannot guarantee that it will work for everyone. We would not recommend using these products during pregnancy. If you search pregnancy safety on each ingredient, you will see they are not recommended during pregnancy. If you would like to try this protocol after you have your baby, we are able to ship to Indonesia. However, we cannot guarantee your countries customs regulations on if these products will go through and would recommend you check to see before ordering. We are not responsible for if your package is unable to go through your customs regulations in Indonesia, as well as the import fees they may require.
Typically, the formula can help the narrowing within 2-4 weeks. However, some need to use it up to 2-12 months, off and on, for full healing.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Rachel

I have found dmso in my country, they said its 99% pure dmso. If i just use dmso, is it okay for my body? Or i still need to mix 4 ingredient for anal stenosis? How if i just using dmso and aloe juice without potasium iodide and colloidal silver?
Would i get the effect from the dmso? Would i cure from mh stenosis?
Hi Dona,
We are unable to say for certain on if using other brands will be as effective and as safe as the ones we recommend. When a person is unable to get the exact ones we sale we recommend to do as much research as they can on the brands they find, the safety of them, and make sure the ingredients in them are the same. As well as use their best judgement and go with their gut on what they feel is right for them and will help. You can see more details on what to look for by looking at the information on each product page in the shoppe. http://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/shop-by-strictureheal
We have had several people leave out an ingredient or two with some success, but we cannot guarantee if it will have as much healing effect or not. However, whichever products you do decide to use you always want to use the aloe vera juice to dilute the other products. And if it burns too much you can add more to the mixture.
If you decide to try this out, we would love to hear how it works out for you.
Kind Regards,
Rachel

hii rachel..i want to buy dmso & aloe vera from your shop,,but i dont have credit card. i just have debit card. can i use my debit card?
Hi Dona,
We do take debit cards but only if they have a Visa or MasterCard logo on the front. I’m not sure with whom you bank but most major banks offer a debit card with this if yours doesn’t currently have it. We also take PayPal so, if you don’t currently have an account, another alternative would be to create a Paypal account and link your debit card or checking account to that.

Hii…i cannot find liquid potassium iodide( food grade) here. Can i use potassium iodide crystal (for analys)?
Or can i just leave potassium iodide and just mix dmso and aloe vera? Did it still work to cure the stricture?
Hello Dhona,
We are not familiar with the potassium iodide crystal, or if it is safe to work in place of the liquid potassium iodide. We only recommend using what we have used as we know the safety with those ingredients. We have heard of several others doing the protocol with success leaving the potassium iodide out. We cannot guarantee for certain if it will work or not for you though. If you decide to try it we would love to hear how it works out for you.

Hello Dhona,
It usually takes a minimum of 2-4 weeks to start having effect, and can take up to 2-months for complete healing. So, we would recommend giving it at least a couple more weeks to see if it will work out for you. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Jini, I’ve read through your PDFs on rectal strictures and intestinal strictures and am excited to try some variant or combination of the protocols for what I have. However, my stricture is in the urethra and I’m wondering if you have any ideas in terms of how to apply the formula.
I’m not sure how comfortable I am putting something directly in (a dropper, for example); I’d be concerned about damaging something! I wonder if applying the topical formula (from the intestinal protocol) to my skin in that area would get the necessary substances where they need to go. Perhaps in combination with the oral (intestinal) protocol. Thoughts?
Hello Josh,
Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not have experience of treating this type of stricture as we are not medical professionals. Jini mentioned this experimental protocol in her comment above dated July 11,2012:
“If I had this condition I may experiment with trying the following for myself:
a) Using a syringe to inject the 20% solution up the catheter. After removal, either apply to the urethral opening, but ideally, continue to syringe (or eye-dropper) up the urethral opening into the urethra. Sometime dental syringes are easier to use than droppers, but I would test and see.
b) Download the Intestinal StrictureHeal eBook as it has an ORAL component to the treatment. If this can positively affect strictures in the intestines, why not in the bladder/urethra? Also as the urine passes through the urethra, it may carry some of the solution with it.
http://www.listen2yourgut.com/blog/natural-healing-remedy-for-intestinal-strictures/
Lastly, I would use EFT to address my feelings about the “strain and imbalance triggered by the foreign object”. Emotions – particularly negative emotions, fear and trauma can hinder healing just as much (and sometimes more) than physical factors. I would NOT neglect this important step:
http://www.MeridianTherapyTechniques.com/
You, of course, must only do what you feel safe with and see the Disclaimer below.
PLEASE post back here and let us know what you decided to do and how it went.
p.s. If I still felt unconvinced about the emotional healing component, I would here:
http://www.HealingJourneyMovie.com
and download the free teleseminar with Dr. Gabor Mate (at the end of the movie): When The Body Says No.

My daughter has a stricture and would like to try your protocol for it. She is allergic to Bactria and sulfa.
Hi, I’ve had this problem for over 15 years; It takes me 30-45 minutes to poop every morning. And even then, I have a feeling of incomplete pooping. When I first sit, the first release is quite large amount. But I feel like I am not done, so keep sitting there and every 5-7 minutes more poop comes. But each one is followed by smaller or pieces. The shape of the the stools is pencil like thin, or a little bigger than worms.
The feeling causes me to go in the evening the second time, though this time shorter, but the feeling of unsatisfying pooping is still there.
I’ve never experienced any constipation, diarrhea or bleeding. Also, the stools are soft and not hard. I am visibly very healthy, work out 6 times a week, eat very healthy food, though not very high in fiber(probably between 10-20 grams).
Please help!!
Hi Raheel,
Thank you for reaching out! If you have passed normal stools, then there’s probably no STRUCTURAL impediment. Stress, food sensitivities and excess gas (bloating) can all cause a narrowing of the internal anal sphincter and result in ‘pencil stools’.
Jini recommends Meditation or Dialoguing with your Body and then re-post if you still have questions. Your body really does know better what is the best course of action for you.
Watch the video, download the meditation and your body will tell you what you need to do:

I use lox jelly when I go for BM.so is it safe to use Ur stricture formula with it.?? I m confused may be DMSO penterates the jelly contents also in the skin.
Hello Jeni little history then a question…Im 65 year old male, I started getting hemorrhoids at age 15, likely the scare build up and lots of tags it gradually lead to a rectal prolapse about a year ago from forcing. The prolapse is far easier to deal with then fissures, as we speak I have one from hell but Im an over the top aggressive kind of guy and still do a 700 lb legs press when I work out. Ive used the stricture protocol for 8 days at 20%, I have to say knowing whether I get that small little eye dropper in my correctly isnt easy with the swelling. Question: when the formula hits an open fissure it shoots through ya like I put my private parts in a light socket, Im no stranger to pain but just wondering if this is to be expected? I dont have insurance right now so the laparoscopic prolapse surgery has to wait but if I can get these fissures under control I wont mind. Im hoping your formula plus keeping stool soft will get me on that road.
Hi Ken,
Yes, the pain is expected but should eventually improve as you progress. We recommend using less DMSO if it’s too painful.
You can lubricate the dropper with comfrey salve before use, it can also heal mild fissures. For faster and easier way to heal anal or rectal fissures, please check Jini’s FissureHeal suppositories:

Hi there,
I have used the recommendations from jini’s free ebook and articles/podcast from the ltyg website to fix my anal stricture issue. With low residue diet, meditation, rectal strictureheal and also I have tried Wurn technique in Gainesville and found no improvement at all. The wurn technique was costly and ineffective. I noticed they are more focus in cases like infertility and women’s health. However i wasnt sure about bowel obstruction, if anyone tried that should share with everyone else..
Well, after the wurn treatment i spent a year to save up some monies and i decided to try myofascial. And you know what, after plenty of hours of treatment, my internal sphincter muscle has gone loosen. Of course i believe it’s a combination of the stricture heal solution and smoothie and meditation. But i still not quite able to fix the scar tissue that built near to the external area. The problem is my scar tissue pretty deep into the skin layer and the scar extended to my anus. The scar about 5-7mm in length if to be examined from the outside. I hope to get some info regarding,
1. As the dropper we use to apply the rectal strictureheal solution will be inserted into the rectal area at least 5mm inward otherwise the solution will leak away. How to soften the scar tissue area that the dropper missed or the strictureheal solution not in contacted?
2. And as the rectal strictureheal has potassium iodide, i check my thyroid level every few months. Recent report shows T4 high and tsh is quite low. Does this mean i have to exclude the SSKI in the solution? Using only 3 ingredient?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you.
Hi Candy
I have a stricture in my anal canal from Crohn’s and peri Anal fistula abscess surgery.
I was interested in trying the Wurn technique. Did they try anything internally to try to loosen the stricture? I’m sorry it didnt help you. It is very expensive.
In the anal stenosis and stricture protocol you mention that you should use stainless steel measuring spoons, #2 one oz amber glass bottles and glass medicine droppers becaus the DMSO with transport the chemicals of plastic (which is what most people have). Where can you buy these things. I don’t see them available on the website. Thank you
Hi Todd,
Thanks for contacting us here. You can either use an old wild oregano bottle or other herbal remedy bottle (they come in amber glass bottles) or you can buy a new one at your local pharmacy.

Hi,
I have just had a haemorrhoid surgery 3 months back and and feeling mild rectal stricture, I am worried that it may aggravate in future so I want to get over with it. I have bought your Stricture Heal. I just want to ask that can I omit SSKI and silver and use only Alorvera and DMSO without affecting the results.
Thank in advance
Hello Smith,
SSKI and the Silver are 2 important ingredients in the formula. You can omit them if you think that this is better for your case and observe. We recently gathered some information from those who have tried the StrictureHeal.

I have anal stricture from hemorrhoidectomy (April 2018) – doctors are no help. My very small BM’s are up to 9 times a day this week! I have being doing the DMSO anal stricture protocol (20%) for just 3 days. I have also been listening to the guided mediation. Praying for some improvement and relief. I fear I may need an enema as I can tell I am not evacuating everything. Very uncomfortable due to the constipation. Wondering also if I should attempt anal dilation at home myself? Thanks
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for contacting us here. As per Jini, anal dilation can result in more scar tissue.
People reported to see results after 3 weeks or a month but it really depends on the severity of the condition, so be sure to give your body enough time to heal.
If you don’t see any changes in 20% formula then proceed to 40% and continue to Listen to the Guided Connection audio as much as possible. Usually, do Rectal StrictureHeal protocol every day, then the Guided Connection 2-3 times a week. The audio are very helpful in totally and completely relaxing both body and mind. It also creates a very soothing and peaceful visual while you’re doing the castor oil pack right after the Rectal protocol. Please check Jini’s Symptom page below for some constipation remedy you can do at home:

Thank you! So grateful that this may help!
also- once symptoms start to improve- how long should one continue the DMSO protocol? Taper off – every other day for a week or two? Or? Thank you.
Hi Lauren,
DMSO is like wild oregano oil that it has such a broad range of uses and the ability to produce such amazing results fairly quickly and lot of benefits so Jini recommends to try to listen to your body and gut on how long it needs the DMSO. You can gradually decrease the amount if you want once symptoms are gone. Learn more about DMSO and safety cautions here: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/dmso-and-safety-cautions/

Hi Lauren,
I too have an anal stricture due to surgery, which I had September 27. I was curious how you are getting on since trying the dmso formula. Did it help? I bought all of the ingredients, but am nervous.
Yes this is along the lines of what I was thinking too. After a few more weeks I will fill out the survey and send it in so you have more info on the DMSO protocal for anal stricture. @10 day’s in and there is already some improvement so I remain hopeful. Thank you.
Hi, I’m very interested in this thread. As well as being a hemorrhoid sufferer I’m pretty sure I have scarring and strictures from hemorrhoidectomy over 10 years ago.
I have already purchased the ingredients for hemorrhoid treatment and would love to have the instructions in the ebook but I don’t have a kindle or ebook device. Can I read it on my computer or iPhone? If not what do you suggest? How can I get the formula?

I have been doing the DMSO protocol (for anal stricture for 3 weeks, 20%). I had a few great days of relief last week that were miraculous! However, this week I am back to where I was at a month ago and had to resort to an enema (due to very small/frequent BMs, pain/spasms etc). I bumped up the protocol to 40% DMSO just 2 days ago. Is it common to backslide during the protocol like this? I am really hoping to avoid the anal dilation procedures my doctor wants to do. I am also taking the magnesium, potassium, Citrucel, Miralax, and a probiotic daily. I am also doing the mediation 1-2 times/week. Trying to keep the faith! Thanks,
Hi Lauren,
Thank you for commenting and sharing your situation. Since everyone’s situation is different, it is possible to have different effects. It would be good to narrow down if you did anything differently during your good week, for example if you took different supplements.
If spasming is an issue, you can incorporate castor oil as per the protocol if you have not already.
Kind regards,

Hi Lauren.
Just so you know I have an anal stricture and self dilate with Hagar dilators. I was freaked out by it but really it is no big deal. I have been doing it over a year now.
Feel free to email me if you want
Ktfish@nycap.rr.com
Thank you- I emailed you!
dear jini,
thank you Very much for this helpful website, blog & your publications to say nothing of wonderful ongoing efforts to help suffering pilgrims.
1) Have you ever encountered any men with severe post orgasmic pain which manifests itself as peri-anal, rectal pain and inflammation?
2) Problem originated 29 years ago given a muscle spasm in the prostate gland / pelvic region during an ill-advised “holding back” during orgasm – and pop! Never properly resolved and now in fairly constant pain exacerbated by occasional orgasms at this point. Hell on earth.
3) I am tempted to try to make my own suppositories as you’ve demonstrated – as I’m not sure I can thoroughly apply the Rectal StrictureHeal solution sufficiently comprehensively (360 degrees around the entire internal rectal area which is in active inflammation) with the dropper. Agree better to start with suppository approach and hope for relief / healing – even though technically it is not a stricture?
4) does the hideous garlic smell emit for 90% of the people trying the DSMO of whatever percentage – 20% or more? not good for me, as I’m close quarters every day with hundreds of people at graduate school. Comment?
Many thanks,
Henry
I have been doing the stricture DMSO protocol for a few months now and have not had any odor issues – I think that may be more common when people orally ingest it- from what I’ve read. It has also definitely helped with my internal stricture.
Hi Henry – So sorry for the delayed reply, I sent off your query to a doctor friend of mine and he replied:
“I wonder if he ruptured something and now his prostate pumps somewhere it shouldn’t. Pre and post ejaculatory ultrasound of the region might show whether there is fluid getting injected where it should not. It could have secondarily gotten a chronic infection. Or it’s a psychological, repressed abuse, sort of thing.”
No harm in trying the suppositories! But if you’re concerned about the smell you could just use cocoa butter… OR I’m wondering if a peri-anal version of the Hot Castor Oil Pack would work better…
https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/natural-remedies-for-sore-muscles/
Re the smell of DMSO, it’s not so much as what is emitted, but rather, who can smell it! My neighbour’s wife said her husband smelled so bad she wouldn’t kiss him or let him breathe on her. I had him him breathe out right in my face and I could smell nothing! And I am a VERY smell-sensitive person.
I would also book a hypnotherapy or EFT Tapping session to see if something traumatic is locked into those tissues – either at the time of the “hold back” or an earlier experience (that may not be consciously remembered). If it were me, I would do this FIRST and then explore the other options listed here.
hugs,
Jini
Dear Jini – regarding your 19 October response, you have proposed an EFT tapping session as an avenue to explore – may I ask if you know of any specialists who can help in this regard in Northern CA or elsewhere in CA? or OR or WA?
2) In the interim, I am going to bail out on the previously discussed castor oil approach and go right to the DMSO approach – as a way to try to drive down the hideous post orgasmic inflammation and pain that is 24/7/365 – and try constructing suppositories as you’ve demonstrated in a video. Using the free guide you’ve kindly published and made available by PDF. Might you have any comment on all this? Original context email as above sent on 30 Sept. Many thanks for all your efforts to help suffering pilgrims – Henry
Hi Henry,
My comment is simply to do as much research as you can, and listen to your own body. For EFT practitioners, they can work with you via Skype or Zoom from anywhere in the world. So I would just do a google search on:
“eft sexual issues”
“eft sexuality”
“eft trauma abuse”
and then see who you feel a CLICK with, who you feel led to check out. Take care.
Dear Jini,
given the pain levels remain so high all the time, I am feeling increasingly motivated to simply “get on with it” and try either or both (sequentially depending on result) the castor oil and DMSO suppositories in the hopes of an anti-inflammatory effect of the distressed prostate region and peri-anal neighborhood. However, may I ask you – in thinking of your feedback community and those who have posted public responses re suppository use strategy, do you know if any of them have been Men? It seems they are all ladies who obviously have different anatomy – and this raises my concern as regards – what impact Might these agents have on my actual prostate gland I wonder? I naturally wonder if there is any literature (I’ve found none) or testimonies you are aware of by men who have tried DMSO or castor oil “down there” with such inserts? Or perhaps it is just a give it a try and see situation? thanks for any views, Henry
Sorry Henry, I don’t have that information either. We did receive an email from a male reader yesterday though, who is using both wild oregano and DMSO rectally and having good results thus far. Just listen to your body, maybe take a workshop on Intuition Development. Tune into the signs your body gives you, or find a doctor or health coach who can support you in your process. All the best.
dear jini – many thanks for your posting – encouraging timing that you’ve heard from a man just yesterday who is having positive results with wild oregano and DMSO with rectal application. Jini – would you kindly consider linking us up via email // consider determining if he would be open to an email dialogue with a fellow male suffering pelvic / rectal pain problems? I would be extremely extremely extremely grateful for any such gesture on my behalf. thanks Henry
Hi Henry, this is Jini’s assistant here, I have reached out to the other man and will contact you via email if he is interested in corresponding. Or perhaps he will just answer you here… fingers crossed!

hi Lauren – many thanks for this helpful commentary….it guess it is implied that you are using the suppository approach which I am definitely contemplating? made according to the Jini video method?
how encouraging to hear that the DMSO protocol has definitely helped with internal strictures…may I ask if you follow to the letter the published protocol or have you also included castor oil, wild oregano, comfrey or another other elements in the suppositories that are referenced in the larger discussions for pain relief and tissue healing?
I am following the protocol – not as suppositories but the dropper method as prescribed in Jini’s anal stricture protocol. (20% DMSO solution for 3 weeks, daily, then increased to 40% and did that daily for 4 weeks, now I do it 2-3 times a week). I did not add anything else nor did I include coloidal silver. Daily fiber and miralax are also usually required for me to maintain normal-ish BMs. If I let up on those for more than a day I have issues. It’s a slow process but I remain hopeful that I will be able to avoid further surgery or complications.
dear Jini,
a million thanks for your helpful reply.
I am intrigued by your suggestion of the castor oil pack and wish to proceed down that track in due course. However in reading the details on it via your URL link, it seems apparent that version is a topical application (indeed you spoke of a peri-anal approach), whereas the pain truly emerges from well and truly in the interior – near the prostate gland – and radiates 360 degrees outward – and very obviously To the peri-annum. So I’m thinking a castor oil pack Might be more efficacious further in – if you will. Indeed in a closer reading of what you put in the original description you say here that – “a castor oil pack has many applications and has also been used in cases such as non-malignant uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts,..” – which are very internal conditions….vaginal no?…so can one make the argument for this invasive approach for the male via the rectum? I appreciate your further thoughts on this.
If so, how shall I proceed?
I also conclude from your comments that there is no good reason to Not try the original line of discussion – the DSMO suppository – in due course -depending on how the above (priority) castor oil approach works or not?
have also taken on board all the other remarks (the Dr, etc.) too …many thanks there…best, Henry
Jini,
may I please learn your response to my comments submitted on 21 October – which I offered as a matter of deepening our discussion (based on your original response) to come up with a practical next step/intervention to this dreadful condition I’m enduring? I would be extremely grateful if you would kindly re-read my 21 October remarks and questions and respond…..many many thanks, Henry
Hi Henry,
Jini’s suggestion is to try and experiment however you wish. She cannot advise you on something she have no knowledge/experience of. However, your body KNOWS exactly what it needs. So she encourage you to get in dialogue with your body.
She have a lot of posts on exactly this topic:

Been doing the dmso protocol for anal stricture from hemmorhoidectomy since mid Aug (20% daily for 3 wks, then 40% daily for a month and once a week last 3 weeks). Surgeon is not satisfied with the anal opening size and wants to do surgical dilation. I can’t find any info online about risks or long term success. Can you provide any resources? I think I will increase to 3 times a week at 40% to see if that helps. Thanks
Hello Lauren,
Thank you for reaching out! People reported to see results after 3 weeks or a month but it really depends on the severity of the condition, so be sure to give your body enough time to heal. And yes, Jini recommends proceeding to 40% if you don’t see any changes in 20% formula. She also recommend to try to listen to the Guided Connection audio as much as possible when you’re doing the Rectal StrictureHeal. Here’s a testimony from one of Jini’s readers:
“Whenever I do the Rectal StrictureHeal, I try to listen to the Guided Connection audio as much as possible. Usually, I do Rectal StrictureHeal protocol every day, then the Guided Connection 2-3 times a week.
I have found the audio to be very helpful in totally and completely relaxing both my body and my mind. The audio creates a very soothing and peaceful visual while I do the castor oil pack right after the Rectal protocol.”
We recently gathered some information from those who have tried the StrictureHeal. You can see these testimonials here: http://listentoyourgut.com/testimonials/19/strictureheal.html
As well as these survey results: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/intestinal-strictureheal-survey-results-are-in/
Please let me know if there’s anything we can do to help!

Hi Lauren,
Your situation seems very similar to mine. Was just curious if you are doing better. Did you have the dilation procedure after all?
Best,
Nicole
Hi Nicole- I did the DMSO nightly for @3 months (see earlier posts for details). By November – according to my surgeon – the stenosis was no longer causing a structure. He felt I was mostly all healed. So I did not need any dilation. I can’t say for certain it was the DMSO that caused the improvement, but it didn’t cause me any harm and I would do it again. However I continue to have many IBS symptoms. (Looser stool, irregular BMs etc.) I do take a probiotic and fiber supplement daily along with magnesium and potassium. I do not see that the mag or potassium make any noticeable difference and may stop taking once the current bottles are empty. The healthier my diet is the better my regularity is- less carbs, more veggies, lots of water etc. So it was @6 mos before I saw any marked improvement and I am definitely not normal now by any means but at least not rushing to restroom 7 times a day! Hang in there.
hi Jini –
a million thanks to you for your amazing work and education in respect to rectal challenges, etc for us suffering folk out there!
I am inclined to use the Home made suppository solution to deliver DMSO (hopefully more comprehensively) as opposed to the dropper method for injury (muscle spasm) related anguish, pain and inflammation around the prostate gland and pelvic region. Question – do you think I can create adequate suppositories without the SSKI? (am already ruling out the colloidal silver as this doesn’t sound imperative). In essence, just using the organic cocoa butter and 1/2 tsp 99% DMSO. Please comment if you would please, thank you Henry
dear Jini..
further to the prior posting – as an additional measure to using DMSO as a means of eliminating / reducing pelvic pain and inflammation as a post ejaculatory event (extremely boring) – do you have any views on the concurrent use of – a) raw grated curcumin as a tea or in another delivery method?, and b) ginger — as recommended natural anti-inflammatories – as a regular and daily input? thank you. Henry
Hi Henry,
Unfortunately, we don’t have any information about using the protocol in this manner. Jini’s suggestion is to try and experiment however you wish. She cannot advise you on something she have no knowledge/experience of. However, your body KNOWS exactly what it needs. So she encourage you to get in dialogue with your body. I’m also tagging Jini to see if she can comment.
We wish you all the best!
Cris B,

As long as your gut tolerates them, I don’t know of any contraindications…
cris – thanks – so no one in your collective experience has used the HemorrHeal suppository formula excluding the SSKI – and has reported back on any pain / inflammation reduction huh? thanks for inquiring on my behalf – I may try and give feedback.
in regards to my second query regarding curcumin (or ginger) as a regular measure for helping drive down pelvic inflammation and pain – does anyone in the team / other readers / Jini.. have any feedback or experience?
dear Jini – in regards to the HemorrHeal protocols, you have proposed using Georges AA Aloe Vera juice together with the other elements as it works well to counter the “sting” of SSKI you write.
1) so I’m guessing it is Very common or even invariable that one experiences a “sting” on first (and every) application of the HemorrHeal – and thus one should not be alarmed at this bodily reaction – and discontinue prematurely!? There is a small universe of people doing this so any feedback greatly appreciated for the neophyte.
2) possible to add George’s to the HH suppositories for internal use OR will this impair the consolidation of all the elements within the cocoa butter formulation for the suppository?(but clearly its ok to combine for the dropper/squirt approach)
3) if that’s the case, which I assume it is (but want to check as don’t want the sting!), as you do not furnish this as an ingredient – then should I expect the SSKI sting to be quite notable for sure – but do not be alarmed as this is typical?
4) what is the average time line for Hemorrhoidal resolution? [3 months or so if one follows 10 days on, 7 days off, etc as you’ve outlined on page 17]
5) I cannot find any silicone or rubber S moulds and am going to use plastic straws – but am a bit anxious about hand rolling the suppositories and thus exposing my bare skin to the DMSO in doing so. Any tips on this – shall I try some tight latex gloves?
thanks a million for your help,
Henry
Hi Henry, to answer your questions:
1) You may experience a ‘sting’ you may not. Or you may only experience it your first time (with the liquid formula). With the suppository formula there is no sting since the cocoa butter buffers it (in my experience).
2) Correct, you can’t add any other liquids to the suppository formula as it likely will not be firm enough, or hold together.
3) Yes, you can alternate liquid and suppository applications.
4) For most people, their hemorrhoids are healed within 2 weeks. For me, it was 1 week. BUT be sure to address the root cause so they don’t recur. If it’s constipation, see: https://listentoyourgut.com/constipation/
5) There is no problem touching the DMSO with your clean hands (wash with soap & water, then no lotions or anything). I would avoid latex in case the DMSO carries the latex chemicals into your suppositories. And yes, the silicone/rubber suppository molds seem to have disappeared and everyone is using plastic now.
Good luck and let us know how it goes
dear Jini – a million thanks for your prompt and helpful replies. May I please ask a few other quick questions –
1) If I cannot secure George’s Always Active Aloe Vera Juice – are there any well known alternatives I can use OR are you quite insistent this is the one to use?
2) regarding the Organic Cocoa Butter, I was informed there was no stock left in your warehouse, and so wishing to get on with it, I requested the HH protocol be sent me nonetheless without waiting – hoping to find a suitable option locally.
the only thing I could find, prohibitively expensive is – Organic Creamy Cocoa Butter (unscented) made by Inesscents Aromatic Botanicals (2 fl oz for $16).
Ingredients: Theobromacacao (cocoa) butter, shea butter, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil.
Will this suffice OR what is your view?
I’m in so much pain I’m wishing to begin as quickly as I can – but?
thanks
Henry
Hi Henry ~
1. You can use any brand that has no preservatives, chemicals and contains only the inner (clear gel) filet. Of course, you can also get your own plant and juice it that way. Sometimes you can find a vendor who sells it fresh-frozen.
2. No, you can only use 100% cocoa butter, otherwise the suppositories will fall apart. Why don’t you just get started with the liquid formula? Add comfrey salve before or after if you get soreness.
Hi Jini
I many adhesions due to previous infection and surgeries in my pelvic area and around my ovaries . They are visible in ultrasounds and cause fluid to het stuck in pockets that they have formed. They cause a lof of pain. I did your Stricture Heal protocol for two months and still on it. Do you think this protocol could help if i put the solution in the vagina? Do you think DMSO in vagina can help better with ovaries adhesions because it will be put closer to the ovaries than when i put it on my lower tummy?
Thank you so much
Hi Roxanna – so sorry to hear you are going through this pain. How has the 2 months of StrictureHeal been going? Do you feel any benefits/differences? We don’t have any experience using DMSO for strictures on the ovaries, but we do have a protocol using DMSO for a recto-vaginal fistula which is used in the vagina. Here are the details: https://listentoyourgut.com/fistula-rectovaginal/
Perhaps you could use that information as a starting point/basis to tackle your particular issues. I hope this helps! 🙂
Hi Jini,
I am struggling with post surgery rectal issues with pain after passing stools. The pain stays for whole day sometimes. Hard stools have resulted in anal fissure post surgery. It is just awful situation. My surgery was done 6 months ago. I started the stricture heal protocol 2 days ago but I don’t the pain is from the fissure or scar tissues that are being stretched while passing stools.
Is it okay to do the stricture heal protocol after 6 months of surgery and might have an active/ healed fissure? Could the skin in the anal canal sustain the protocol ingredients?
Hello, that sounds incredibly painful – so sorry! I had chronic fissures myself when I was sick, so I can attest to the pain! If I was you, I would address the fissure first since hard stools seem to be the reason why the area is re-tearing.
I recommend trying the FissureHeal suppository, which Jini discusses in her home remedy for fissures here: https://listentoyourgut.com/an-anal-fissure/
You also want to ensure you are using something to soften the stools. We usually recommend Coloneaze~Move for constipation to help soften stools, however, since you have a stricture/blockage you should only use this under guidance of your physician:
https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/products/coloneaze-move
You can also incorporate low-residue foods which help provide bowel rest: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/jinis-low-residue-diet/
Or, you can implement a half-elemental diet where you consume Absorb Plus shakes and low-residue foods: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/products/absorb-plus
All my best to you on your healing journey!
Hi, I am so impressed with your work. I am asking for a friend who had hemmorojds taken out, so many that she is too tight now and can not have normal BM and have to take enemas every day. Would the protocol for Anal Stenosis and Strictures (DMSO etc.) be helpful for her do you think?
Hi Ann-Sofie, thanks for reaching out! I will send your regards to Jini. 🙂
Regarding your friend’s sittaion, if I was her I would try the anal stricture protocol and read Jini’s advice on anal stenosis: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/natural-remedy-for-anal-stenosis-and-stricture/
And: https://listentoyourgut.com/natural-remedy-anal-stenosis-and-strictures/
I also would consider Absorb Plus shakes to soften the stools and lessen them so they are not hard stools that might tear the rectum: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/collections/absorb-plus
She could also consume low residue foods which provide bowel rest (similar to Absorb Plus): https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/jinis-low-residue-diet/
Here is a meditation Jini created on this issues as well, because you want to see what emotionally may be contributing to the hemorrhoids in the first place: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/collections/healing-sessions-meditations/products/healing-meditation-for-anal-stenosis-stricture-hemorrhoids
And finally, an anti-inflammatory like this orally may be helpful: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/products/mucosacalm-90-capsules
All my best to you and your friend! – Linsy
Hi Jini
So I started ur 20% concoction yesterday which I purchased from your website so I’m using the correct brands.
l have a couple questions.
I inserted at 1pm, by 4pm I was asleep on couch (which is unusual for me) with cold shivers and slept through the entire night till the next morning. I had stomach pains, nausea and vomited quite bad at 3am.
Is this normal and what should I do?
Hi Shasta, no that is not a normal reaction and I have never heard of anyone experiencing that out of thousands who’ve used these substances. It could possibly be:
1. An allergy to one of the ingredients – you could test this by applying the formula to the skin on the underside of your forearm and see if there’s any reaction
2. A Herxheimer (die-off) reaction – perhaps you have an extreme pathogen load. Have you been taking Natren probiotics for at least 3 months?
3. Coincidence – you may have been getting sick and the timing was just coincidental. The only way is to test again once you have been fully recovered for 1-2 weeks – and no stressful events.
Let us know if you figure it out…
Ok I will try the top 2 suggestions. The 3rd I think is not relevant because I don’t use anything today and I feel ok. I’m not sick or coming down with anything. I haven’t done the probiotics. I will give that a try and update u. Should I try to spot test all the ingredients or just the dmso?
No harm in doing all of them – the more info the better!
