Pruritus Ani Cured

Hi guys, just thought id let people know that after suffering for 8 years i finally figured out what was causing my pruritus ani, it was coffee, tea, coke and bread. After i stopped drinking/eating them it went away with 48 hours, however if i do take them i can almost immediately feel it start up again.

I suffered for years, went to numerous doctors and 2 dermatologists and had no luck, they went down paths that were of no help.

It wasn't until i started playing around with my diet that i noticed certain days were better than others, and through a process of elimination i figured out it was bread, coffee, tea and coke.

I hope this helps someone, as I understand the pain, anxiousness and frustrations it causes, not to mention the lack if sleep!

    hey there

    thanks for posting this. I'm curious though, I've been suffering with this problem for a while now and also drink a lot of diet coke and coffee and occasionally eat bread. is is possible these things can irritate all of a sudden? as I've been drinking / eating them for years!

    also how do you relieve it when it is itchy? im in hell
