When I saw my primary care doctor about the fissure issue his number one recommendation was to eat 2 bran muffins a day to loosen my stool. I made the muffins using the recipe on the box and for the past two weeks have been eating 2 a day. I think they are helping a lot with my constipation. And I am actually starting to like how they taste! Have others had success with bran muffins?

I used a lot of bran with my first fissure upon doctor's advise. I found baked beans to be helpful also. I can't have bran anymore because of celiac disease, so I rely on beans, and other vegetables. Raw well chewed celery is really good also.
