Kelly Bowel problems are no laughing matter, although people think it funny to joke about them, they make one's life miserable and I am very concerned to hear how bad a time you are having lately, you are indeed getting a rough deal honey.

I have heard Aloe Vera juice is good to drink, just to keep your stomach and bowels in a better state, have not tried it myself , but it has been recommended to me for my IBS, I know you are suffering from something different, but just thought it might help you as well, might be worth a try.

Good luck Kelly, BTW I also have heard ungvita Vitamin A cream is helpful for those painful fissures, it helps heal them and is a little soothing.
