Re: Diagnosed with ALS..now have anal fissure

I am highly educated and hold advanced degrees in both business and naturopathic health. I understand many alternative treatments including both micro and macro nutrition. That said, I'm very offended that you compare ALS to cancer. You have no idea how many people I've lost who are friends with ALS...

Re: Diagnosed with ALS..now have anal fissure

I went to a CR surgeon and he confirmed that the fissure healed completely. I'm keeping up with the Colace and the ointment and making sure I keep well hydrated.

I guess I surprised my gastro that it healed. Thank you for all your replies.

Re: Diagnosed with ALS..now have anal fissure

So far I believe the ointment and Colace is helping. I've not had blood for over three weeks. The key is keeping my movements soft. I upped the magnesium dose but kept the psyllium to one dose. I've always eaten a lot of fiber and the Colace seems to keep everything moving twice a day with no effort...

Re: Is Magnesium citrate safe for long-term use?

I've taken large doses of magnesium for muscle relaxation and a heart arrhythmia. Calcium causes muscles to contract while magnesium causes them to relax. Most people take it much more dietary calcium than they need. I take about 1,200 mg. of magnesium daily. I use mostly oxide and some citrate. I n...

Fissure and internal hemorrhoids

I have three internal hemorrhoids that were laser treated during a sigmoidoscopy. The gastro knew I also had a fissure and hoped it would heal. I did not. I had been using preparation H for the roids for nearly a near. The active ingredient in preparation H seems to be a vasoconstrictor but the acti...

Diagnosed with ALS..now have anal fissure

I have been diagnosed with ALS. I can still move around but I have a lot of pain and limitations. Due to the meds I'm taking, I've always had to take magnesium and psyllium to combat constipation. Until about six months ago this has been working. I developed three internal hemorrhoids and thought th...
