Three issues?: To better formulate a response, please clarify: 1) " gastric problems"--this means your stomach is bothering you. Are you experiencing indigestion or meal-associated distress? 2) "hard stools"--do you have stool infrequency, a sense of incomplete evacuation, or dessicated stool? 3) "getting piles"--are you sure that's what you have? Happy to help if we better know your problem(s).
