Yes -spastic colon is another name for IBS. He ruled that based on process of elimination. I had always suspected it myself. So I will try the Librax to see how that works. I have to be a little more cautious with my diet regarding diverticulosis, but he said I could occasionally eat popcorn (which I love) as long as it doesn't bother me after. I find that my biggest problems happen when I am stressed - then everything I eat bothers me.
The fissure is closed, but there is an obvious scar(?) that shows exactly where it was. It was a long one too. It is still closed and the dr was very pleased that the prep didn't open it back up or irritate it.
I am beyond relieved & having a loopy but good day!
I highly recommend Nifedipine ointment - I used it religiously because if I missed 1, I knew it. It takes time and patience, but it worked.
