Diarrhea and hemorrhoids both cause irritation and itching on the anus. Chronic diarrhea leads to too much straining which can cause the anal veins to enlarge. If you are already suffering from hemorrhoids, diarrhea can worsen your condition and can cause great discomfort, irritation and itching.
Having chronic diarrhea increases your risks of developing hemorrhoids due to excessive straining during bowel movements. Most people disregard diarrhea. But if it’s been three days and you have fever and pain in the rectum and abdomen, it will be wise to go and consult your doctor. Long term diarrhea can be a symptom of a more serious disease such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), parasites or lactose intolerance.
Diarrhea and hemorrhoids can be treated with adding more fiber in your diet. Fiber does not only soften stools, it also adds more bulk so you can excrete easily. Fiber helps regulate your stool by aiding in better digestion. Eating oats help absorb the excess water in the digestive tract and helps in forming better stools for easier excretion.
Since you are suffering from diarrhea, you should refrain from consuming milk and dairy products as it can aggravate your condition. Choose fruits that aids in forming better stools such as apples and bananas. The pectin found in apples adds volume to the stool and promotes viscosity which makes it great for both constipation and diarrhea. Bananas, just like apples also contain pectin. Furthermore, bananas also contain fructooligosaccharides which are non-digestible polymers that helps keep good bacteria to grow in your digestive tract so that your food are properly digested. That is why bananas are great for constipation and diarrhea as it helps make your stool normal.
If you suffer from excessive diarrhea, refrain from eating ripe bananas. Instead, eat unripe bananas as they contain a natural starch and they have more electrolytes which add more volume on your stool. If you are constipated, do not eat unripe bananas as the starch it contains that make your condition worse. Fully ripe bananas are best for constipation. Eat two or three bananas a day during meals or as a snack. You may combine it with oatmeal and honey to help alleviate your condition.
One good recipe for relieving diarrhea is by making unripe banana smoothie. Peel off 2 to three unripe bananas and slice into pieces. Blend with two cups of banana juice and 1 cup of ice. You make take this smoothie two to three times a day. You may also slice two pieces of unripe bananas and mix them in a cup of plain yoghurt.
When suffering from hemorrhoids, regulate your intake of fruits and vegetables that causes stool to harden. You want your stool to be soft but with bulk and not watery so it is easy to let out without straining. Diarrhea and hemorrhoids can be cured naturally and the cure is mostly found in your kitchen and is readily available. If your symptoms persist, you must consult your doctor for proper diagnosis.
