I’m afraid with the anal fissure the diet has to be kind of strict 

My diet since the fissure and now it’s healed is 

Porridge breakfast 

Lunch - sandwich tuna on whole meal bread 

Dinner - broccoli carrots fish cauliflower and little potatoe 

Lots of veggies 

I also take 2 x movicol or laxido throughout the day 

When I had the fissure I took 2x  Senna at night also 

Must keep the BM soft 

Whilst the fissure was there I pooped in a sitz bath ( horrid - yes) but I was willing to try anything 

After BM another site bath with coconut oil and Epsom

Salts also a little peppermint oil 

My bum lives in water! 

Water - lots as much as you can drink 

I never wipe with paper just jump onto sits bath   , if I’m out I use coconut wipes 

Creams- forces of nature fissure control and pro kits m was good , for me however everyone is different also Bert Bees lip balm with peppermint oil ( don’t ask me how or why ..) but was brill ! 

You life revolves around your bum I’m afraid , 

Try to have one BM a day I also took one 30mg codeine straight after BM and 2 xparacetmol

Water bottle is good between ya cheeks !

All above worked for me however since the fissure has healed I still have sand routine I dare not change 

Still take Movicol religiously ! 

Smoothies - need BM soft to allow fissures to heal 

My surgeon gave me Gtn that worked also for me - he told me to use it as needed - so I used it three times a day and even now use it twice a week 

Hope you find relief soon

Hopd the above helps  a little

Fissures take months to heal so don’t think all is ok when you have a BM with no pain 

Just get into a routine 

My surgeon said the key is to eat daily and poop daily
