Question:

Thanks, I’ll try both of those! Mike

Response:

Mike-      I take Prevacid…maybe something like it would neutralize the acid which is irritating your skin?  Just a thought! Get/stay healthy, Kathi

Response:

If you can tolerate milk, it’s alkaline and neutralizes acid!  Ceresse

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi, I haven’t posted here before, but have read for a while. My name is Mike Maurer and I had attended the youth rally for 4 years until last year, the year between when you can go as a camper or a counselor, so some of you might know me. I’ve had a pull through with an internal pouch for several years now (after having an illeostomy for 5 years and ulcerative colitis for about 10 years) and have adapted pretty well. Over the past few months I’ve determined that lots of tomato causes severe skin irritation. I know the standard procedure is to avoid foods that cause trouble, which I now do. I am wondering, however, if there is something I can eat/drink that would reduce the irritation tomato causes. I would guess the acidity of tomato causes the irritation, so something that would neutralize or lessen the acidity could reduce the irritation. Thanks in advance for any help, Mike
