I am preparing for a lateral internal sphincterotomy -- to help eliminate an anal fissure. If anyone has had the procedure, I would appreciate hearing about dietary suggestions for both pre- and post-operation. The surgeon said to ask the GI doctor; the GI doctor said no dietary changes necessary. The fissure is very painful to the point that the internal sphicnter goes into spasm making passing any stool extremely painful. What food can be passed most easily?
Any help is gratefully accepted.
