Summary

Patients with chronic constipation due to food hypersensitivity (FH) had an elevated anal sphincter resting pressure. No studies have investigated a possible role of FH in anal fissures (AF). We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a diet in curing AF and the clinical effects of a double-blind placebo controlled (DBPC) challenge with cow's milk protein or wheat.
