Fistula sugery is no joke!

OMG it's been a week and I still have a huge hole where he dug it out next to my butthole. It's so painful and gross looking you would believe it! It will heal and new skin will reappear eventually. But I can tell you the day after surgery I already felt so much better because all that stool, puss and blood was sitting in a three in long tract and was backed up and it was making me feel tired and ill all day!

The heaping tablespoon on metamucil day and night seems to help but I'm pooping like three times a day, good bulky ones but still it seems to be a lot.

I don't have constipation but when I do have to go sometimes my body pushes as if I have to and it's creating this slice in my rectum. What can I ask for so I don't have gut spasms and something that will work quickly when I get up to go in the mornings?

Thanks all.

 

I feel your pain,makes me shudder to think back on my multiple rectal abscess/fistulas.
All that pus and gunk also makes you feel quite sick.
I am not a huge probiotic fan but will say that dss-100 strain seems to ward them off.
I can also pinpoint steamed clams, as a cause of some real bad ones on occasion, so I don't eat
them anymore,but love them. Being filter feeders I guess contain some strange bacteria,also suspect if you take from the pot as soon as open then perhaps the center of the clam has live bacteria.
