Hi beatle,
Yes, I eat prunes too. I have always been prone to constipation and had a fissure removed 2 years ago. Then 2 months ago when my pain started getting bad, I had a bout of diarrhoea which set off the fissure pain again. So I always have to tread a very fine line so that I don't get either constipated or diarrhoea. Sorry for all the ugly details! It is just another type of pain that I have to struggle with and makes the process of finding medication for the other pain all the more difficult. Thanks for your suggestion.
