I had been in pain for 2 months before the tear was visible. It was tearing from the inside out. The colonoscopy revealed a healthy colon. So I went to a health Hut and was recommended Aqua Flora Phase 1 and Kyolic Garlic which I still take. The doctor that did the first colonoscopy had recommended I eat sunflower seeds for roughage. The first handful ripped me completely open. The colonoscopy, two weeks after the first one, during surgery, revealed multiple rips. Here is the strange thing. I have been hydrating like crazy, taking Fiber Choice and stool softener also, but when I have a BM it still comes out hard as plastic (green?) and a bunch of water comes out with it. It's like my body is not combining the liquid with the solid and making it softer. The liquid and solid come out at the same time but not mixed together. Any suggestions from any health gurus?
