On Tuesday I felt like I badly needed to shit. I was working at a hospital and the secluded bathroom was out of toilet paper so I went to one in the main part of the hospital. It was just farts. Possibly the most gas I've ever had. I have hemorrhoids pretty bad and farting while sitting on a toilet is the worst thing for making them very angry.
Plus mad people were walking by and stopping to have conversations by the door, so many people listened to me fart 40 times.
Good to hear that you know your options and what to do/eat.
Do you use water/bidet instead op TP?
And yes, surgery is annoying with the weeks healing after the procedure.
Good luck in any case!
