The diet that helps the most is
3 pieces of wholemeal toast (english bread!) With peanut butter and cucumber slices on top. I spread this out throught the day and never all at once.
2 litres of water - no sugary drinks or diet soda
2 -3 meals of salad (cucumber, tomatoes and bell peppers) with either scrambled eggs/poached eggs and/or tuna.
My main "treat" is Mr Whippy Icecream which i seem to be able to handle.

Just one question - do you use toilet paper or wipes?

no - I use coldish water with the shower head and since there are so much skin scar tissue - i just leave it cause by touching I might irritate micro tears .... also I avoid touching my anus cause it gives me panic attacks realising how shut down and tight it is and impossible to fit finger inside..... I ate yesterday and today papayas and mangoes - to soften stools... also i have few pebbles stools stuck at the entrance but I am unable to evacuate them with breathing and MOOOO- too much pressure and scar tissue- so i just will leave it till big BM will push it out.... I do not know if thats normal to have so much scar tissue and pressure that tinny balls of stools are like stuck in between at the entrance?

Sounds silly. If there is any stress u can control and eliminate it will help the sphincter relax. It might be stress that you dont even see as stress. What has your pelvic floor physio said?

I do not have PT .. i stopped doing stretches cause i injured my hip by stretching all day....

Im into MEGA nervous breakdown since sunday retear..... I barely slept and this morning was talking to my psychotherapist,,,,, she thinks that retear and contacting my narcissistic mother and writing letter to disability insurance (cause for 2 years I cant work) triggered massive mental episode.. I will phone her tomorrow.....
