No haemorrhoids or agony on the loo.I have learnt to be very careful to ensure I don’t get into that position however - I try to manage with watching my diet ( lots vegetables , rolled oats for breakfast etc )including drinking a lot (tea mainly) and only have a problem very occasionally as I act swiftly if I notice a problem starting.Sign in to react to this post

I just added some bran to my cereal, and instantly had some relief.Sign in to react to this post - Trikki2MemberThanks @Finch

I made a horrible concoction of chia seed and water porridge which worked very very well. Constipation is the pits , I'm never eating chia seeds ever again, I had the porridge daily for three months .
And most importantly, drink lots and lots of water.
Good luck.Sign in to react to this post - kmakmMemberDried apricots are high fibre as well I think.Sign in to react to this post
