I've heard of going gluten free to heal a fissure. I have 'tried' to eliminate gluten, but certainly haven't given it my all. I'm going to be strict and finally make the change. I'm in tremendous pain almost daily. I'm tired of talking and crying about it to my family. I'm so depressed. Thank you for your post. Hope you are still well and cured! Please Reply if you have found any other remedies helpful. I'm currently applying manuka honey regularly. Some improvement, but painful BM puts me right back to square one. :(
