Fourth week in and suffering really bad from haemorrhoids, is this down to the diet and if yes has anyone suffered the same and what did you do to combat this I am in so much pain and discomfort and been to the doctors twice, please help if you went through the same.

Looking forward to your comments if you have experienced the same side affects whilst on BSD

Not a medic but used to be a nurse. I very much doubt a diet can CAUSE haemorrhoids. Have you suffered with constipation during the diet and this can push them down or make them bleed. Drink plenty of water.

Make sure you are including enough fibre in your meals too. If you are in doubt, take some Psyllium Husk to be sure, but again, make sure you are dinking plenty, as this will make a difference.

Another ex nurse and I agree with Sunshine girl. This way of eating has made me more constipated, but as I had IBS for 30+ years that is a bit of a treat! Lots of water and some kind of stool softener ( you did ask!) should get things moving again and the piles should heal up.
Best of luck, piles can be miserable. 👍
