If you notice an improperly formatted reply, kindly message the poster and gently remind them it needs to comport with the Naltrexone example below. It is simple and keeps things traversable and useful, thanks 🙏

Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

Metamucil (psyillium fibre)

It's kinda simple, but Metamucil. I would get terrible stomach aches, bloating and constipation whenever I had greasy food. Now, if I have 1-2 servings of Metamucil a day, then 1 extra right as I eat greasy food, I don't feel terrible!

Psyllium husk changed my freaking life. Probably TMI, but I used to have very severe hemorrhoid pain. I basically almost never do anymore, it's that drastic.

I'm glad to hear it! If you are lacking fiber, it can drastically improve your life.

I was shitting blood on the daily. Having had surgery for bleeding hemorrhoids, I cannot face that again. Been through some shit, but that was the worst pain of my life.

Psyllium had me back to normal in 1-week. Hope others read our words and it helps them.

They’re rather unpleasant, aren't they?

Delicate question: does your butt ever go back to normal after a haemerhoid "heals"? Like functionally and cosmetically lol?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Depends if it’s internal vs external hemorrhoids, and on the severity, I guess? Some can cause small tears and scar tissue. Others are really minor and just make your ass tingle once in a while. It’s funky like that.
