Re-tear every time I stop taking psyllium husk
I am curious if anyone else has a similar experience. I developed an anal fissure in November of 2025. I began taking psyllium husk and it felt better by January. I figured it was healed, so I stopped taking it and it quickly re-tore. I immediately started taking it again and by February it felt like it was healing. I also began doing anal massage as well to help the healing process. About a week ago (at the beginning of July), I ran out of psyllium husk, but I hadn’t had any issues for months, so I figured it had healed. Unfortunately, it re-tore within a few days of stopping.
Has anyone else had this experience? I’m so frustrated and am not sure what to do.
