A fistula is a cut that occurs when you have to strain to pass your stools. The reason that you have to strain is because your stools are hard and you find it difficult to pass them. Fistulas are caused by faulty living and eating habits. When people eat food that contains very little fiber, they are unable to pass their stools with ease. This means that they have to exert pressure. This causes the cut.
Your diet should be a very high protein one to ensure that you don’t have to exert any pressure to pass stools. For this the first thing you will need to do is to ensure that you drink lots of water. Plain water is fine though you can also drink fruit juices of various kinds. Buttermilk with some salt added for taste is another option that you can try. Since you have suffered from fistula you should know that drinking tea and coffee can harm your health and ruin your diet. Instead you can drink herbal teas with honey mixed in. You can also heat some water and add some lemon juice and honey for a healthy drink. You should also stay away from soft drinks and food that consists of white flour. Instead you should explore healthier options that contain whole grains. Your intake of fruits and vegetables should increase. You should ensure that vegetables like radish and beetroot are eaten regularly. These will ensure that your diet contains of a lot of fiber. You can eat fruits like apple and grapes to keep your digestion active. In addition, you should eat Indian gooseberries since these are very good for the digestion. Salads should also be consumed regularly.
You should drink a cup of hot milk to which a spoon of clarified butter has been added. This will ensure that you don’t suffer from constipation. In addition to the changes in your diet you should also make some basic changes to your lifestyle. You should avoid late night and eating out since these can play havoc with your digestion. Instead you should ensure that you get sufficient hours of sleep every night. You should also start some kind of physical activity that will keep you healthy. Stress can also play havoc with your stomach and cause constipation. You should take steps to ensure that you don’t get stressed about home or work. For this you may have to take up some breathing exercises.
