Hi Jenny,
A fair amount of soft fiber foods are what works best for fissures. I usually ate around 20 grams but you may eat more. You just don't want to over do it. You should avoid any foods that can constipate or make bm's harder like dairy( especially cheese) and red meat, also sharp foods like chips, taco shells, pop corn can hurt with a fissure. I had a problem with any nuts, some say theychew them to a mush(paste) and are ok with them.
Good Luck with the nitro and try to stay away from any of the hem ointments. They do nothing for a fissure and can actually ulcerate the skin after more than 2 weeks. It may feel good temporary but in the long run there not good for fissures.
Also Jenny, LIS will fix the fissure for good. Don't be afraid of the surgery if it comes to that. I've has a really good experience. There's no need to suffer forever with these stupid fissures. :)
