Questions & AnswersHello my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to talk to you today about hemorrhoids; in particular about how to find ways to alleviate pain from hemorrhoids. Now in this clip we're going to talk about diet. A diet is a very important issue and it is the number one cause of hemorrhoids or a lot of other major diseases; obesity. So we're going to address diet. If you change your diet eat more healthily in terms of eating more vegetables, more fruits, increase your fiber intake that will help you decrease the risk of getting hemorrhoids. So here we have some items which are commonly available in the groceries, the supermarkets, and your health food store. The more important thing is to increase the fiber intake. Either eat fiber which is attainable in either in a pill form, these are fiber tablets in gel form that contains psyllium, oat, and apple. So these are actually compressed and put in a gel form that you can actually swallow. Or you can actually by the packets of fiber of grains of oats that you can add into soups and cereal and eat it that way which is really nutritious and also help to decrease the risk of getting hemorrhoids. You can get certain tablets, these are called Leave J tablets that also incorporate not only the oats and psyllium, it also has herbal ingredients in it like dandelion roots and so on and so forth. Here's another one with just the psyllium itself which is a form of fiber that's concentrated into tablet form. Other kinds of fibers that you can eat, cook and eat is of course it is best to get brown rice than white rice it's better for your health to decrease the risk of constipation and therefore decrease the risk of hemorrhoids. And beans that you can cook in soups and put in casseroles; eating nuts which is very good in fiber content, and also fruits and vegetables your staple carrots for salads, your greens and banana and apples, very good. So fruits and vegetables, increase that intake in your diet and increase the fiber and then that will decrease the risk of getting hemorrhoids.
