A member asked:

What is the best remedy for hemroids and constipation? should i cut down on red meat and bread?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water and high fiber: I recommend Metamucil at bedtime. Drink plenty of water and stop as much caffeine as you can. Try do keep your stools the consistency of a thick toothpaste, not watery or hard.
