Toilet Paper

 Ok let's talk toilet paper. Did you know that almost all toilet paper is dusted with corn starch? Normally this would be a nice additional feature. However, many people are sensitive to corn, as I am. You may notice annoying itching after using the bathroom. This is a clue to corn sensitivity. Also noting that people with Crohn's may need to visit the bathroom several times. 

The only toilet paper free from corn starch is Scott. However, the quality of their product is poor. Super thin texture. Now Scott has come out with a new toilet paper, called Comfort Plus. This does contain corn starch too. The regular may be difficult to find.

Solution: Take shower immediately after. If this is not feasible, There are Bidets and hand bidet sprayers available on Amazon.

There are also wipes available. But even the "flushable" ones should not be flushed. I was told this by a plumber.
