Example Diet for Hemorrhoids

The following indications are for informational purposes EXCLUSIVELY and are ABSOLUTELY not intended to replace the opinion of professional figures such as dietician, dietician, doctor or nutritionist, whose intervention is necessary for pathological diagnosis, drug prescription and / or for the structuring of PERSONALIZED food therapies. .

Hemorrhoids

In common parlance, hemorrhoids are defined as a disorder of the hemorrhoidal plexus located in the rectum and, more precisely, in the anus; in truth, this discomfort should be defined as hemorrhoidal disease.

From a physiological point of view, hemorrhoids function like small "sponges" that swell and deflate according to the circumstance; they are divided into two types, based on location: internal (higher) and external (lower).
What allows the volumetric changes of the hemorrhoidal plexus is the flow of blood but, when the circulation remains compromised and varices are formed, the painful symptoms typical of hemorrhoids appear.
The pathological mechanism is probably attributable to the descent of various tissues into the anorectal canal (internal, external and mucous plexus) and is distinguished by a clear tendency to prolapse.
Hemorrhoids affect the majority of the population (at least once in life) and the predisposing factors are: subjectivity, constipation, pregnancy and diarrhea.
The diagnosis must necessarily be of a medical nature, since various disorders in the same area (such as fissures) can give rise to almost overlapping symptoms.
The treatment of hemorrhoids involves 3 very specific stages: diet therapy, drug therapy, surgical therapy or other medical systems. Fortunately, pharmacological and surgical therapy are not always necessary, while the dietary aspect is practically essential; below we will present the essential nutritional principles for the dietary therapy of hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids and Diet

For further information: Diet and Nutrition for Hemorrhoids

Below we will cite, from a practical point of view, the most important nutritional interventions.

Consume 2 portions of fruit and two of vegetables a day; at each meal, drink at least two glasses of water. In the eventuality, take fiber-based food supplements (see below).
Consume two servings of plain yogurt or dietary yogurt with live lactic ferments per day; for supplements, as well as for some drugs, the intake must take place away from main meals.
Consume a second dish (dish) at lunch or dinner and, if the nutritional need requires it, an "other small portion" in the other main meal.
Season with at least two teaspoons (and up to two tablespoons) of extra virgin olive oil every first, second and side dish.
Avoid foods harmful to hemorrhoids such as: alcohol, fermented tea (red or black), cola, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, chili, pepper, horseradish, ginger, radish, mustard, garlic, onion and shallot.
Avoid osmotic or irritating laxatives (See article: Diet and Nutrition Hemorrhoids).
Do not add salt and sugar and strongly limit preserved and processed foods such as: cured meats (salted and sausages), aged cheeses, canned products, smoked, dried, etc.
Do not use bouillon cube, sweeteners and packaged foods; these are rich in additives (sodium glutamate, lactulose, mannitol, etc.) and are not always well tolerated by the intestinal mucosa.

Supplements

The supplements useful against hemorrhoids are mainly those based on soluble fibers, respectively contained in fruit, vegetables, algae, certain tubers, aloe, etc. (beta-glucans, mucilage, inulin, pectin, etc.).
Indirectly, probiotics (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and eubacteria) and prebiotics (polysaccharides and fibers), or even products based on butyric acid, can also facilitate the pathological remission of hemorrhoids.
While it is true that vasodilatory molecules have a negative effect on hemorrhoids, it is equally true that vasoconstrictors could perform a positive function. Among these we remember the plant active principles of plants: Helichrysum, Centella, Rusco and Cypress. In addition to dry herbal extracts, it is possible to use these plants to produce herbal teas to drink daily.

Obviously, it is always good to contact the pharmacist to establish the dose, frequency of consumption, suitability or prohibition.
