My GI doc recommends at least 24g of fiber/ day based on a normal 2,000 cal/day. For a 5'3" athletic build (although not so athletic lately), my AF weight loss is still in effect (i weigh 125lbs). I'm not a registered dietician, but in my training as a physiotherapist, we learned that if you are healing from any injury, not only does your body need extra calories to heal and build new tissue, falling below 1500 calories per day can delay healing because most bodies need at least more than that for basic function. it also runs the risk of depressing your metabolism into "starvation mode". Your system could be "stressed" if it's not getting enough calories. Once I got over my initial eating anxieties due to my fissure pain, I feel like the majority of my daily eating is for the purpose of "healing my fissure". Ie, enough calories with a good balance of the right kind of nutrients. Maybe increasing your calories a little might help? And/or bumping your fiber down to 25/day?
