Fiber: Most people do not get enough fiber and often not even enough fluid (especially plain water) in their diet. Therefore daily stool volume/diameter is not sufficient to massage the rich network of veins in the rectal area to prevent hemorrhoids from developing. I would encourage you to consume 25-30 grams of fiber per day, drink 2 qts/ l per day of plain water.
