Hi all,

I made a little post before but here is a more detailed one. It's about how I healed in a week, twice, and how I believe that these things could help you too. If you make good choices for your overall health.

Let me explain my story briefly first. I am a vegan raw foodist, so I just eat fruit and salads (basically), well that is how I have eaten for years, but not always, and that was …

Hi,

I have a very important question for the sake of my sanity. I have been walking now for over two weeks, and in the last 5 days I've had BMs with no pain!!!, waoo. But I still feel that my sphincter is not working properly, like I have this constant pressure that doesn't go away, the only thing that relieves it a bit believe it or not is a bit of coffee that I drink every day after lunch.

After a bowl movement I will wipe clean using a wet wipe. Sometimes it takes several wipes to get clean. Then ten minuets later I will be messy again like I never wiped at all. Is this fissure related? Has anyone ells had this problem?

I saw a doctor today because of the pain I have that lasts several hours after a bowl movement. I don't have any pain during the movement its always after. There is never any blood. He thinks I have a fissure just by how I described it. He did not do a physical exam. what do you think? Isn't there usually blood in your stool when you have a fissure?

What happened??? How come …

I've had a chronic fissure for 18 months currently awaiting date to go in for fissurectomy (last year I had Botox & LIS but neither of these worked for me) pain is awful & the only thing that brings me any relief is sitting on a hot water bottle I do this most days sometimes for several hours depending on severity of pain.

After a bit of net research and with the conformation of a couple of members on here I have now accepted the fact that I have an AF. But when the pain 1st began after a forced BM due to constipation I never gave any thought to the fact that it may continue for weeks/months/or worse, mainly because it was a pain that I have felt on several occasions previously throughout my life. But on all of …

Hi Guys,

I am currently recovering from LIS, 16 days post op and though I have had decent luck with the BM's - I was wondering if someone can shed some light on what foods are generally found good for making sure BM's are ideal.

What are the foods that you would eat as part of your so called "fissure diet"?

Additionally, I have read on here the supplements people take to help the healing and …
