Hi all.
I was just doing some great improvement for the last 6 days. No blood, no pain during BM and only a very slight irritation sometimes during the day which I think might had something to do with the healing.
Well, today, I got the stomach flu. Most of you know the drill. Diarrea, stomach pain, puke, headache and so on. I started this morning and is already getting better now. Normally it takes 1-3 days to recover. The diarrea sure aint fun for the AH and the area has been a little irritated - but I think this is pretty normal, even if you dont have an anal fissure.
What im afraid of is that I will constipation in a few days then this flu blows over. Iv gone 19 hours without eating, but just ate some yougurt. I wont be taking Movicol to night as I quess this will only make the diarrea worse (?)
I would like to hear from people who has been in a similar sitiuation. When did you re-start your use of stool softeners? Did you get constipation after the flu? Anything else I should be aware of?
