well i have been a bit iffy about posting this but ever since i went to peru back in november i have gone off my previous routine.
since peru, i have been eating yogurt every now and then because i had something go wrong inside my digestive system and then i needed rebuild my flora since i took flagyl.
anyway, everything before then, my chinese herbs, my aloe vera juice, my supplements like fish oil and flax seed oil....all the stuff that i was doing before......i haven't been doing them.
i haven't really had any fissure issues since i would guess last spring/summer for good after the colonoscopy.
the only problem that remains is my friend laverne and/or shirley. they go through the motions. they are skin tag(s) or little thrombosed viens that hang out about 5 degrees tot he right of my 12 oclock.
however, i use my vicks, chinese ointment and/or tinactin on it every now and then and it helps.
other than that, i haven't had any bad issues and feel almost as normal. i still am a bit scared to really relax and BM since i don't want to relax too much and then have something zoom out uncontrollably by surprise and rip whatever healed tissue is down there.

as far as new routines go, i started yesterday to get back to macrobiotics 90% of the time and begin taking my chinese herbs, zhi bo di huang pian and xiao cheng qi pian. i will continue to have yogurt on a daily basis via danactive.
i will also try to do something physical for 30 minutes each day to help increase motion within the digestive system, such as yoga, stretching, walking, etc.
i think reducing stress is a big thing for me to also help keep things regular down there.

what are you doing new for this year for your butt? :12:
