How it works
Soft, bulky stools pass more easily, reducing the pressure and straining during bowel movements that cause and worsen haemorrhoids.
Increase fibre gradually over 2–3 weeks to minimise bloating. Drink extra water as you increase fibre intake.
Meta-analyses confirm high fibre intake reduces haemorrhoid symptoms and bleeding by approximately 50%. Considered first-line treatment by gastroenterology guidelines.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
