Coconut oil suppositories

This may seem like a gross topic, but for the past 3 weeks I was so seveerely constipated that my rectum became inflamed and I was passing out blood because it was injured. I have no doubt in my mind that this was caused by the combination of chemo and painkillers. Everytime I went to the restroom the pain was so bad that I wanted to scream and thought I would pass out. My onco gave me anti-constipation pills and a stool softener, but I still had problems and my rectrum wasn't healing. I bought commercial suppositories but they just made me want to go quickly, and did nothing for the inflammation, pain and healing.

So I made my own suppositories from coconut oil. Here's how:

1) Chill some coconut oil in a glass jar until it turns firm and waxy.

2) Shape small portions with a spoon into bullet or torpedo shapes about an inch long. Do this on small squares of cling film. The film will help you produce the shapes, slightly pointed at one end.

3) Put the suppositories in a small freezer-proof container. Place the container into the freezer and within 10 minutes they should be firm enough to insert.

How many you insert during the day depends on your needs. On the first day, I used 4, spaced several hours apart. There was still a lot of pain after a couple of days, but my poor soft tissues were being lubricated and they were healing. My rectum made some funny sounds during this time. I still use the stool softener to minimise the pain when I pass motion. Overall, I am healing and the pain is lessenng.

I think I might mix in some helicrysum essential oil next time. It stops bleeding instantly, reduces inflammation and heals tissues fast. Very expensive but worth more than gold to me, as I've seen how fast it works. Hope this information helps someone.
