Hi all! Just a follow-up to my last post, which (I know) is Loooong overdue! My apologies. So here's an update: I have been doing really well! That is not to say I don't have minor set backs, because I do, but I am no where near the condition I was once in months ago. I follow the same regimen that I listed, however, I decreased my use of miralax after that first month as I did not want my body to get dependent on it. So now I use it about twice a week or so or when I feel I need to. ***ADDITIONALLY, I cut out dairy from my diet!!! This really made A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Dairy, i realized, was always involved when my setbacks (slight pain/discomfort) would occur. SO, this may be something that you may want to assess as well. Other than that, I'm still using the cream at least once a day and reduced carb intake. Anyway, I'm SO glad that after years of struggling with this I can finally say I am conquering it! It is still a daily battle but with God all things are possible. I truly believe HE sent that cream just for me, lol! I am so thankful and grateful. I'm praying for you all and hope that you come out stronger than you were pre-fissure. God bless you all.
