Hi,
After suffering from proctitis for over five years and trying enemas and tablets to control the condition I really wasn't getting anywhere with a solution. I train a lot, to help look after my ligaments and cartilage I started taking 1500mg glucosamine tablets. After a few months of taking one tablet a day I noticed my proctitis symptoms completely disappeared. I've stopped taking medication supplied from the doctors for the proctitis and I'm still free from the symptoms. Glucasamine helps prevent inflammation of the bowel, but for me its worked wonders as I was told there is no cure for proctitis and I expected to have the disease for the rest of my life. I really hope it works for you too.

For the itching I use Prax lotion, it works wonders. Its on the counter, don't need a prescription but must be specially order. Will not stop inflammation, it does reduce itching a pain.

Thanks for this post. I have suffered from proctitis now for over 3 years and nothing will clear up the inflammation. Some of those meds had terrible side effects and just left me as bad as if I never tried them. I have now been on a triple anti biotic therapy and well I don't think this is working too well either. I plan on starting glucosamine immediately after your post has made me research its use for UC and proctitis. One study I found showed it worked better than treatments doctors use today! Thank you very much!

An update on what I use:
After each bowel movement I use Cottonelle wet wipes, they are very gentle on the tissues
For a stronger wipe I also use Tucks but they contains Witch Hazel which may irritate the condition
After recommendations from this forum I also use Calmoseptine (buy at Amazon) which is stronger than Prax but contains menthol which eventually irritates it
