Foods to go along with your Hemorrhoid Treatment.


A high fiber diet obtained from raw fruits and vegetables is what you need to eat for eliminating and for preventing constipation. When you don't have constipation, you won't have hemorrhoids.

The amount of fiber you should be eating is 25-35 grams per day. Most people only eat about 8-12 grams per day.

If you have not been eating a lot of fiber, you need to add fiber slowly to your diet, especially if you add it by using bran. Increase your use of bran or other bran cereals over a couple of weeks.

If you add fiber to your diet with fruits and vegetables, you can add them freely without much problem. However, since your stomach will not be use to it, you may experience more gas for a week or two. You can compensate for this by taking digestive enzymes to help you digest the extra produce.

The following list of juices and fruits are good to go along with hemorrhoid treatment.

  • Juices
  • Cherries, blackberries, blueberries
  • Cantaloupe
  • Red and Black Currant Berries
  • Pomegranate Juice
  • Oranges and bananas
  • Papaya

Here are some foods that will help give you relief from hemorrhoids and as hemorrhoid treatment. Use the following foods to help reduce hemorrhoid bleeding:

  • Alfalfa
  • Dark green leafy vegetables
  • Blackstrap molasses
  • Flax seeds - are high in omega-3 oils, which reduce inflammation and pain. They are also high in fiber.
  • Lima and butter beans are high in iron, which help to build more blood. If you have bleeding hemorrhoids, adding lima beans to your diet would be a good choice.
  • Sweet potatoes provide fiber, B vitamins, iron, potassium and many other vitamins and minerals. This is a good body building food.

Try the hemorrhoid treatment listed here for up to two weeks and if your hemorrhoids have not shrunk or gone away, you might consider seeing a doctor or trying other remedies from home. You need to find out if your hemorrhoids exist due to a more serious medical condition. See your doctor right away if you have a lot of anal bleeding, a lot of blood in your stools, heavy pain, or fecal incontinence
