Jai, Missy,
My BM issue is not fully fixed. I've only been able to bring down from 10 a day to 6 a day. It's been a consistent 6 times the last few days (from early morning to evening).
When I have a BM, it starts smooth and then abruptly loses steam midway. I have to wash up knowing there is some more in the track which will trigger couple of hours later. I also have the laser burn and pain (6/10). But it's my 2nd week,so figured the pain is expected.
I started psyllium 4 days ago. Started with just half a spoon per day in the morning and it has bulked up the stool a little bit which is stretching my sphincter. I was having very narrow stools before. While this gives pain, I heard it's important to stretch so going with it. However, psyllium has not consolidated my multiple BMs into one or two.
Looks like I'm getting plenty of fibre. I eat apples, oranges, bananas and greens daily. So not sure why my BMs stop midway. My CRS is back from vacation next week. So planning to visit before I try any more self treatment.
The cream my CRS gave me has ingredients very similar to sucral ano, so using it now. My BMs are always urgent so sometime I don't get a chance to apply it few mins earlier. The biggest headache still remains multiple BMs and the pain it brings with it.
