I am following strict liquid diet because of pain of external hemorrhoids. worried that bowel movements might make pain worse. is liquid diet good ide?

Soft bland diet: I suggest the use of a stool softener and the ingestion of 8-10 glasses of water, ingestion of cereals and fresh fruit fiber. Consult your physician for the name of a recommended stool softener.
