I also have a rectal prolapse.  The Dr has me on a high fiber Diet.  Including metamusil twice a day.  Best thing to have the prolapse not get any worse is to not strain at all.  I hope this helps.  I don't have much information about this.  I have been also looking for more information about it.  I still have more appointment to come.  I will try to keep you informed if you would like.  My e-mail address is.....  to_see_wizard***@****
