Right now, I’m regular and normal….but who knows for how long. During my C phase I took my Miralax with dinner nightly. No pain, just jello.
When C started my 1 external hemorrhoid became thrombosed! Omg…..the pain was indescribable. By the time I got to Urgent Care for incision (several days after it appeared) it burst on its own before I got on the exam table. I didn’t feel it burst. It took a few weeks to heal, but dissolved and so far hasn’t resurfaced. I saw a colorectal surgeon and there’s nothing left there.
This is my primary reason to avoid C. For now, diet, hydration and exercise are working. 🙏

Wow those hemorrhoids, who knew that was even possible! I lived an entire life before encountering one of those, not as bad as yours but months and months, over a year, of struggling trying to get rid of it. Finally close to that and guess what? I have to get a colonoscopy Oct 25 so here we go again, the prep is going to literally rip me a new **** you know what. :*(
Diet hydration and exercise don't affect my slow motility enough to keep it all flowing normally to prevent the hem from making another appearance. I think part of this is internal but I'm afraid to have banding, I've read too much about it that isn't good. I use Miralax but, since trying acidophilus for about 3 weeks and not having a good experience, my bowel biome seems to have done a self adjustment and I'm now reducing the miralax from a cap a day to everyother day half a cap. I hope your adventure in rear end problems remains boring!
