It has been found that when you eat a lot of chili peppers



that you can get a burning sensation in the rectum or anus.

It is best to avoid eating too many peppers, especially if you

have an advance case of hemorrhoids. Peppers are actually

good for blood circulation and for healing ulcers. It is always

the excess that creates problems in your body.

Here are some additional foods to avoid, which cause constipation.

• Coffee

• Alcohol

• Bad Fats

• Animal products

• Red meat

Foods you should be eating to help relieve hemorrhoids

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 for helping cure or relieve

Hemorrhoids.

Juices

Juices are good for hemorrhoids but especially dark berry

juices mixed with equal parts of apple juice. The dark berry

juices to use are,

Cherries, blackberries, blueberries

These berries contain “anthocyanins" and

“proanthocyanidins" which reduce hemorrhoidal pain and

Swelling by toning and strengthening the hemorrhoid

veins. Drink at least one glass of this juice mixture each day.

Cantaloupe

Cantaloupes are one of the best foods you can eat. It has a

good source of vitamins and minerals. It has a high beta-carotene

level and has anti-clogging properties.

Red and Black Currant Berries

Currants are high in Vitamin C, rutin, and minerals. This

makes their juice valuable in clearing hemorrhoids. The also

have a small amount of the fatty acid GLA, which produce

prostaglandin that control body pain.

This juice is also good for cleansing the liver and blood.

Good liver function is necessary for maintaining a healthy

colon, rectum and anus.

Drink 1 –2 glasses a day of red or black currant berries.

Pomegranate Juice

Although pomegranate juice may be hard to find, it is quite

useful in reducing hemorrhoids, because of its strong

astringency. Saturate a cotton ball with pomegranate juice

and push it slightly into your rectum.

If you have pinworms, the tannins in pomegranate juice will

help you get rid of them. You can also drink the juice.

During the summer I have on occasion found pomegranate

juice at a farmers market. It is slightly tart but it is easy to

drink. However, it’s hard to drink more than a glass full without

getting a stomach upset.

Oranges and bananas

Eat 2-3 oranges and 2 bananas a day. Oranges provide

vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and fiber. Bananas provide

minerals that help to strengthen tissue and have plenty of

fiber. Bananas can also be steamed to give more relief and even

eliminate hemorrhoids. Steam two not quite ripe bananas with their peel until they are soft. Eat two in the morning and two in the evening.

Papaya

Papaya is an excellent fruit to eat. It has good mineral

content, fiber, and has enzymes to digest protein.

These are the fruits and juices to use to for relieving hemorrhoids. Adding more vegetables to your eating habits is also important to get more fiber. These fruits, juices, and vegetables will help you keep regular and provide pain and inflammation relief for your hemorrhoid symptoms
