. I just had an episode with my hemmoroids this morning since 1995. I weigh 167. I have decided to loose some weight because how much you weigh can make hemmoroids worse! I have read this book that I got from Costco called Prescription for Natural Cures. You can buy it from Sams as well. I read that the best way to treat Hemmoroids is to eat fiber, but to slowly introduce the fiber in small amounts, because if not, you can put more pressure on your digestive system. Eat lots of whole grains, raw, or lightly cooked fruits and vegetables and beans, nuts, and seeds. The book also says instead of sitting down and eating 3 large meals to plan on eating several smaller meals. And to allow stools to pass more easily to drink a clean glass of water every two hours.
It says that eating one serving of figs or prunes is good for breakfast.
I went to whole foods and bought flaxseed oil. Its in a refrigerated area. Flaxseed oil encourages elimination. The book also suggests if you dont like to take 1 or 2 tablespoons by mouth, to sprinkle on a salad or cereals, It also says that Candidiasis can aggravate hemorrhoids, and that consuming unsweetened live yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can inhibit Candidiasis, and it will also help you absorb Vitamin K. Vitamin K will help stop or prevent bleeding. Nutritonal sources of Vitamin K are dark green Leafy Vegetables such as Kale, kelp, and alfalfa sprouts.
Wheat germ is also good for promoting circulation and preventing blood clots. It has Vitamin E in it.
Bioflavonoids help reduce inflammation and to strengthen capillaries. Its found in Berries.
The top 7 Super Prescriptions you can buy from a health food store:
Butchers Broom(Ruscus aculeatus) - 200 to 300mg
Horse Chestnut - 100mg
Collinsonia(stone root) 500mg
Witch hazel- The one that comes as a gel or cream for external Hemorrhoids, also add 1 ounce to a sitz bath.
Flaxseed oil- Take 1 to 2 tablespoons a day.
Bioflavonoid Complex: take 1,000 mg 2 to 3 times daily. This reduces swelling and prevent bleeding as well.
Bilberry ( Vaccinium myrtillus)Take a standardized extract containing 25% anthocyanosides. 160mg 2 times a day.It improves circulation and strengthens capillary walls.
Grape seed EXTRACT or Maritime Pine Bark extract have anti- Inflammatory effects and improve circulation as well.
Today I bought Ardens Garden Superfood. The book also suggests that green drinks that contain chlorella and spirulina provides fiber and that it is also good for the Liver.

The book advises to stay away from foods that are fried, high in Saturated Fat. Fats and Oils can slow down the digestive tract. Caffeine and alcohol worsen hemmoroids, so if you drink sodas, or are an alcoholic, now is the time to stop. Avoid spicy foods and sugars. Some cases of hemorrhoids are caused by food allergies. The most common ones that lead to Hemorrhoids are cows milk, wheat, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and peanuts.
There are tests you can take to help: the Hormone test. (Hypothyroid can contribute to sluggish bowel and liver function) - from the saliva, blood, or urine.
Digestive function and microbe/parasite/candida testing- requires stool anaysis.
Food and Environmental allergies/sensitivities - blood or electrodermal test.

I hope this helps. Please get advise from the doctor so that they can make a proper diagnoses, especially if you have a food allergy, and or a herb allergy.
I have internal hemorrhoids that can be brought on m=by pressure. I was sitting for a long time in yoga class. The pain came on suddenly as soon as I layed down 2:00AM. I bairly made it downstairs and became real dizzy, and forced myself to lay down. The pain went away after I made a bowel movement thank God.
Hemorrhoids are no joke. For those that are suffering, I hope this helps
