How To Treat Hemorrhoids

Posts Tagged ‘diet’

I suffer from constipation despite eating a high fiber cereal every morning, drinking at least 6 cups of water a day, eating mostly a vegan-like diet. I have recently, in the last couple of weeks, resorted to taking herbal laxative pills as well as metamucil powder, but neither seem to be helping. I even tried epsom salts, but nothing.

I am diabetic with other health complications and am on medications whose side effects include constipation. I cannot go off these medications without endangering my life, so I need to find other alternatives.

Anyone out there with this problem or with expertise in this area?

ive added them to my diet, yet i am still constipated. I refuse to use stimulate laxative pills.

lol. nooo. not for a diet. thats messed up. i went to my gastrolegist and she wants me to clean out my system.

Obviously the type of food you eat and water intake are two factors. But if you are on a consistent diet how come the diameter will vary?

After my appendectomy i have changed my diet to eating a lot of fiber so as not to get constipated as i have heard many people do. For some reason when i have a BM though it is very much larger than normal and very very painful. Why have i never had BM's this large and painful until after surgery? I'm scared to even go to the restroom now! And as far as hemorhoids go i do have them and this is definately not helping at all!
