What to eat if u have internal piles?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
High fiber: High fiber and stay hydrated. Avoid constipation and don't spend time reading in the toilet. Aim for 30 grams of fiber a day. Foods now a days have labels to help in that and online you can google fiber content of foods.

Psyllium Fiber: If you want to only care for this without any surgical intervention, then psyllium fiber or an equivalent is likely the best treatment for long term. Make sure you purchase unflavored psyllium. Start with a teaspoon a night mixed in 16 oz of water every night. Unless they are stuck out and causing significant pain or itching, surgery can usually be avoided.
