what works for me

Postby rousso » 19 Nov 2012, 20:36

Hi, just wanted to let you know what helps me with Number 2's. I have tried various products to soften my stools but have finally found relief with my concoction. Just to let you know I had a fissure and unfortunately my surgeon at the time decided I needed to have my sphinctor muscle cut to heal the fissure. All the information I now have says this was totally unneccessary. As a result I have had problems every since i had this surgery 8 odd years ago, and regret being talked into doing this. The problem is the scar tissue from the surgery which causes me pain everytime I go to the toilet and have had terrible times with constipation and end up tearing myself open every few months and start bleeding again.
Anyway what I do now is blend up 2 kiwifruit, 1 banana, some frozen berries and orange juice. I have this everyday and apart from keeping me regular it keeps my stools soft enough so it is not too painful. I do also have 2 fish oil tablets in the morning which I think helps keep everything lubricated.
:D
