Saw to the procto yesterday and he confirmed what I already knew- my fissure has gotten worse due to the diarrhea I've been having. Just to recap, I started antibiotics on Friday for mastitis which is now giving me to the opposite problem of what I've been having--stools that are too loose. Today seems a little but yesterday since I've only pooped once and it wasn't as watery. But it's not formed at all like a normal bowel movement. My Dr didn't leave me with my hope other than to "hang in there" and give it time. He said it may now take 6-10 more weeks to heal.
anyway, I'm taking probiotics and eating yogurt, and just doing my best to stay positive. The doctor also wants me to continue the Rectiv but use less to avoid the side effects. Yesterday was a very bad day for me, but I realize this type of ailment will do that to you. You just have to keep moving forward.Has anyone had any success with bulking up stool to help with stool that is too loose? I have about five more days on the antibiotic. Any tips appreciated!
