On my 3rd occurance of AF, started beginning of december, cleared up for 2 weeks then came back last thursday. I take mebrevine for ibs and fybogel for fissure, plus ditlizem cream. Plus eating prunes for breakfast.
The cream really stings for 10 mins or so after I apply it, but apart from that its ok. I have tried eating high fibure but seems to give me large Bm, I had a party to go to yesterday so decided to not eat much for friday and saturday so BM would be small, still kept the fybogel and the water up. Yesterday I thought yippee Ive cracked this, and will lose weight as had a small BM , no pain no blood, but today I had constipation from hell, but no pain and a really small amount of blood just on the last bit of the BM.
I just dont understand how i can be so constipated and the fissure not play up, then a mild one casue agony and a blood bath. However I knwo feel overstertched if you know whay I mean. And dreading tomorrow as it is always worse the day after straining for me.
Also I now have no idea what to eat. I cant eat gluten anyhow. But thought prunes for breakfast, cup a soup and fruit for lunch and then a small tea of salad, was going to be the recipe for success, keep them small etc.
I am just wonderign if the fybogel is doing more harm than good. Due to ibs I only have 1/2 dose after breakfast and 1/2 after lunch, to me my BM are better if I forget to take one and only have 1/2 a dose in a day, but surely thats not enough to have any effect anyhow.
Just read this back and realise its just a ramble, ignore me if you want as I know its all garbled, I am just speaking out aloud.
So have no idea what to do today, but feel like never eating again.
The strangest part out of all of it, is that between august and december I never had a problem with BM, and I was stuffing myself, for soem reason I was hungry / bored (maybe as kids went back to school) yet stuffing myself (I gained 3/4 of a stone in 3 months) seemed the keep the fissure at bay, but I cant do that forever can I.
