The fiber number most people miss

CO
@Community Mod MOD ·
Most adults get about half the fiber they need. Aim for 25, 30g a day from fruit, veg, oats, beans, and psyllium. Ramp up slowly over a week and drink more water as you go, softer stool means far less straining, which is the #1 thing that makes hemorrhoids worse.

Warm sitz baths a few times a day really helped me, plus being careful not to strain.
