Hi Mariel,
 
Thank you so much for your post and including things which will help some of the rest of us Doves.
 
I am going to be doing some research on your condition, which I had never heard of until a few Doves mentioned it. If I come up with anything that I think might help you, I will pass it along. Do you think a drop of peppermint oil or wintergreen oil in your lotion would help with the redness? A drop of pure Melaleuca Oil might work also with the added benefit of relieving itching. I am praying for you.
 
The reason I am writing now is to ask about a statement in your post. You said you use Tums for the stomach pain. How does that relieve pain? Is there a particular ingredient that does it?
 
Thanks for your time.
 
Love you,
Shelva
