Soreness and irritation in colon. What help relieve soreness.

I had severe constipation but found that a mixture of fiber drinks could get me flowing and actually is reducing the gas. Two things out of the way!

But what can I do about all this irritation. It burns like salt on an open wound. It is the whole colon. The more I go to the bathroom the more it burns. I was taking ant-acids which make their way down there but really aren't doing the job. I am on a blan diet and stay away from vegetable fiber which eats away at my colon. Is there a drug or food/drink that can soothe my colon? Maybe aloe juice I saw sold at my pharmacy. My doc said after my colonoscopy that I would have to learn to live with this pain because it can't be fixed. I can't believe that. Something has to help the soreness and burning. I just want to fill an enema up with aloe lotion. Any tips or tricks to stop soreness would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's improving day by day with fiber drinks. Slowly but constant. Maybe it just needs time to heal. :) Hopeful.

The soreness is less felt before I go to the bathroom. Felt the most when empty.

I also mix them all together in to 1 drink, 3 times a day.

Currently I am taking 3 times a day to control constipation.
2 rounded tsp Metamucil Powder
2  rounded tsp Miralax Powder
2  rounded tsp Benefiber Powder
3  rounded tsp Citrucel Powder

The irritation and burning was there before adding the fiber drinks. Doc said colon had visible signs up irritation and swelling. Said take more fiber.
