Was very well interested to read your history. All last year I was following a high protein, low carb regime with exercise and weights. I also had a whey protein drink everyday for breakfast. It wrecked my digestion and started to get my rectal problems with what I think is a fissure in September. I stopped the protein drinks and the diet in aoctober and n the hope this would stop the problem. Unfortunately it has worsened. I thought I was the only one, but it would appear you have suffered the same!
I’m sorry to hear you went through this terrible curse. With protein, it is very important to take milk thistle and drink gallons of water. I was on a 200g protein regime, and I never really cycled creatine. I did take my BCAA’s without caffeine. Long story short, it doesn’t matter how well you prep, any high amount of unnatural compounds of any sorts will disrupt the endocrine system, and in the end the digestive system.
I have been to an endocrinologist and will be considering TRT very soon since my TT is around 240 which is terrible for my age. With such a low level of testosterone amplifies the anxiety of all my symptoms which hinders the healing process. I have been through hell with the power lifting/body building, so compared to what I have taken you will have an easy recovery.
I am about 6 weeks post LIS surgery and all I can say, is the pain is worth it. I am just about healed with no bleeding. The spasms are just about gone (twitching/flutters). The downside is I gained an abscess which eventually pushed it’s way out I think. What I did was bought hydrogenperoxide and poured it into a mist bottle/spray and I apply that to my rectum every time I have a BM after cleaning it carefully of course.
But feel free to ask me anything, I am here to stay for a bit and answer and provide updates. Even if they are crazy and graphic. I’m pretty much an open book now as well as everyone else here on this forum.
So what helped me was I ended up taking probiotics religiously with milk thistle while stopping everything. I stopped all greasy foods. No more cheat meals, meaning no McGains, no fries, cookies to up your caloric intake. Eat to comfort, increase the fiber with BeneFiber 3 times a day. Drink only water or lemon water nothing else, to comfort. DO NOT self medicate, do not be your own doctor and trust your doctors. And if something doesn’t feel right to you get a second opinion. Keep searching for the right doctor which will listen to you.
I do take Amitriptyine 50mg everyday before bed. This helps me with anxiety, my bladder, and sleep. It is a lot better than any SSRI and Benzodiazepines which is addictive and should only be prescribed as a last resort, anyone can agree with me on that.
