Tanya,
So glad to hear the tag has reduced in size by such a significant amount. That is pretty amazing, actually. I hate that it hurts you, but at least the pain seems to mean something good is happening. I'm so sorry you're having trouble with a re-tear. I've never tried inulin before, but I do feel the acacia fiber has been a major discovery for me, even in my current awful state. Things are soft without being bulky, the way I would get with the psyllium.
I'm so hoping for some good news about your healing with this treatment. It would be wonderful to hear you're done with this awful affliction.
I totally get what you mean about the itching. Just to feel something other than the pain can feel better, like a welcome distraction.
