Diet for stricture

I am just over a year takedown. I recently went for a check up and the doctor said I had a minor stricture, which he dilated during my flex sig. Ever since then I've had trouble emptying and feel the stricture is back (wheras I didn't even know it was there before) . I've had to use a couple enemas and self dilated to get relief.

Doc is sending me a script for a dilator .What I'm wondering about is there a diet I should be following to help it go away?

Also, the nurse said "daily dilatiom" . Is this supposed to be forever or do they tend to go away, or get better eventually?

Thanks!

Hi how do you self dilate? Thank you! I’m having issues first thinking it’s constipation then maybe a structure and colorectal surgeon said some people are born with tight muscles in their rectum! I’m not convinced and at time I would place a q tip in rectum to dilate and able to empty my pouch ! That’s why I’m thinking maybe it is a stricture!
