Jason, I too have similar problems but without the fissure. I am an IBS-D type though. I discovered something when I had bleeding piles - that I was straining a lot. To prevent straining I am now drinking 2 extra glasses of water first thing in the morning. That makes the motions easy with less strain. Also, as some of the others mentioned, I make it a point to walk and do yoga every day. That really helps.
For prostate and leaking bladder I consulted an urologist who prescribed me with a medicine that has reduced the leaking problems. I will really know how effective it has been only after I stop taking it. I have been taking it for the last 6 weeks or so.
The haemorrhoids have considerably eased after walking and yoga and of course most importantly after taking SF. I take SOLGAR's since I do not get Acacia locally.
Also, as others have mentioned, try cutting down fats and other IBS triggers.
Hope the above is helpful. Be positive and grateful for Heather's site!! It will work wonders for you as it has for all of us.
