Fasting for fissure healing
Have had fissures for the past 4 weeks. Eat only boiled vegetables and dal. Take a laxative at bedtime. Wanted to know if fasting for a few days would help. Fissure keeps reopening when I pass motion. Especially if it's a few times a day, I assume it won't heal. Will fasting help?
