JHH,
Did you say you suffer from IBS? - Your stomach problems definitely seem to indicate some form of possible gastro issue, which will take a toll on BM's. Are you finding (pizza aside) other things causing reactions? Do you keep a food diary? I've definitely found a pattern with certain foods, such as beans, sweetcorn, peas, mashed potatoes (with butter) - all these give me terrible stomach pain these days, gas, rumbling - Pizza dough (white) or melted cheese may not have helped?? Just steer clear & note down anything that causes you issues. Hopefully, this did not effect your fissure too badly and things have now calmed down again and you've gone back to better days??
