Hello! I am a new to this forum and am looking to get some possible insight from other individuals who also have been diagnosed with rectal prolapse. I have been referred to a surgical specialist however this is not the route I would like to take to have try to cure my rectual prolapse. I have read in multiple blogs that it is important to keep your stool soft to preventing it from worsening. However, regardless of what I eat the beginning of my stool is always hard and extremely difficult to get out. Yet the rest of it is soft. I believe that this is one of the main problems that have cause this to happen. Does anyone have any suggestions of types of foods to eat that will help??? I ate a healthy diet (lots of fruits and veggies and stay away from the fatty foods) but am still experiencing the same problems. Any thoughts or suggestions woulbe GREAT appreciated!!!
