Hemorrhoids Diet
Diets for Hemorrhoids

To improve your diet for hemorrhoids, add foods that contain more dietary fiber. You can include some or all of the following:

 
  1. Whole-grain foods (such as bran cereals) and breads (made with whole wheat grains).
  2. Fresh fruits (including the skin and pulp).
  3. Dried or stewed fruits (such as prunes, raisins or apricots).
  4. Root vegetables (such as carrots, turnips or potatoes).
  5. Raw or fresh vegetables, such as cabbage. (Lettuce is actually low in fiber.)

Eating bran cereal in the morning is often the easiest way to obtain fiber. All-Bran, 100% Bran, Bran Buds, oat bran, oatmeal and Raisin Bran are some of the high-fiber cereals presently available. Bran can cause rumbling intestinal gas and even some mild cramping, so it should be eaten in small amounts at first. The amount can be increased as the body gets used to it. The goal should be one to two large, soft, formed stools a day.

Treatment of an underlying disease can often relieve anal symptoms. Patients who have ulcerative colitis can tolerate aggressive surgical procedures, if needed. It is important to avoid aggressive treatments on patients with Crohn disease, especially if there is acute inflammation of rectal mucosa. Abscesses should be drained as soon as possible, despite the presence of active disease elsewhere.


Other dietary rules:

 
  1. Drink plenty of liquids, including fruit or vegetable juices and water. Drink at least six cups of water or fluid a day.
  2. Eat slowly. Chew your food thoroughly. This allows the saliva and digestive juices of the stomach, liver, and pancreas to break down food more easily. It may also help prevent problems from developing in the lower digestive tract.
  3. Eat your meals at regular intervals.

It will also help to limit these low or no-fiber foods: ice cream, soft drinks, cheese, white bread, and meat.People who suffer from hemorrhoids should decrease or eliminate alcohol and caffeine, because these can cause small, dry stools.

Fiber Contents of Foods

Goal: 25 to 35 grams per day

Common servings of foods containing dietary fiber are shown below. Increase your intake by including fiber from all sources. (Foods from meat and dairy groups are not good sources.) Foods that are good sources of fiber are also typically low in fat.
