Hi splinter, I have type 3-4 most of the time, in the beginning I was at type 1 most days, due to constipation from IBS. That is why I was in hell, suicidal and depressed. The damn AF's took over my whole life! Now with Movicol and a good diet, I am on the FODMAP plan for IBS I am doing a lot better. I am over the 3 month mark now after Botox, so I am really scared. The one chronic monster isn't dying yet. You have suffered for 3 yrs? Have you had any surgery? I have had a couple of re-tears over the last few months, I do think that the built up scar tissue makes it tighter back there too, and my CRS said that keeping the stools formed but soft is the way to go. I tried Fybogel after my Botox, but them my stool was too bulky! God damn! So I ditched that and radically changed my whole diet. Do you have any Bowel conditions?
