Diet for hemorrhoids is a nutrition program aimed at minimizing bleeding, providing the body with useful components and minerals. It is important to give the gastrointestinal tract a minimal load, to avoid aggressive products, the processing of which requires considerable energy costs from the body.
General view
Some foods stimulate blood circulation, which is why blood flows actively to the pelvic organs. This can cause bleeding, swelling, and soreness. Excessive blood flow can affect the quality of the vascular wall and stretch the veins, which means that the nodes characteristic of hemorrhoids will be disturbed with greater force. Adhering to a diet for hemorrhoids and cracks, you can minimize the risk of repeated episodes of the disease, weaken the symptoms and support the body's defenses, stimulate a quick recovery.
An important rule of nutrition is the use of an exceptionally high-quality product. It is necessary to eat fractionally, make meals small, repeat them at short intervals - up to six per day. During the meal you can’t rush, you have to chew all the dishes very carefully. The diet for hemorrhoids involves the use of warm food - not hotter than 40 degrees. Whenever possible it is better to eat steamed food. One of the principles of proper nutrition is drinking plenty of fluids to ease bowel movements.

Medical table number 3
This program received the third number in the classification according to Pevzner. Energy value is estimated at 2 900 - 3 600 Kcal. Optimum balance of chemical components:
- 100-120 g of protein structures, half of which are animal sources.
- 100-110 g of fat, a third of them are vegetable.
- 400-450 g of carbohydrates.
- 8-10 g of salt.
- 1.5 liters and more fluid per day.
Food products corresponding to the third diet must be boiled or steamed, baked in foil. The option in the oven should exclude the formation of a crust, the digestion of which creates certain difficulties, and the structure leads to irritation of the intestinal tract. The third diet recommends avoiding minced meat, mashed potatoes, since such food does not activate intestinal motility.
The frequency of meals on the third diet is six times daily. Small volumes of servings and small intervals between them stimulate the intestinal tract. Food products are better processed, useful components are better absorbed, intestinal motility is normalized, and stool is stabilized. During meals, you must carefully chew everything that enters the oral cavity so that large pieces do not get into the stomach or intestines - they are not digested, but they harm the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Nutrition rules
The diet under the third number, shown by a hemorrhoid patient, involves eating foods whose temperature is not lower than 15 degrees, but not higher than 60 (Celsius). Too hot and too cold - under a strict ban, because it leads to local irritation in the digestive tract, and this affects the activity of the intestinal tract.
Every day you need to drink from one and a half liters of fluid and more. Due to the abundance of water during bowel movements, the masses are relatively soft, they do not stagnate in the intestinal tract, and this prevents constipation. It is better to drink on an empty stomach, before a meal. Recommended fruit drinks, juices of natural origin, still mineral water. You can pamper yourself with green tea. But black, as well as different types and varieties of coffee, will have to be excluded from everyday life, since drinks contain caffeine, which leads to stagnation of the masses in the intestines.
Dairy drinks are considered useful. This is a source of fluid, which is often lacking in the body of people suffering from hemorrhoids, as well as the optimal environment for the development of beneficial intestinal microflora.
Course Features
Hemorrhoids - a condition imposing an absolute ban on alcohol. If alcohol enters the body, the likelihood of dehydration increases, the intestines lose fluid, the blood becomes thicker, swelling appears. This affects various parts of the body, including the venous system of the intestinal tract, rectum. The patient's condition immediately becomes worse.
Every day, a patient eating according to the program of the third table should receive fiber with food - it should account for half of all food consumed. Fiber is able to attract water, softens the contents of the intestinal tract and stimulates painless bowel movements. Fiber helps remove toxins and toxins, is a good breeding ground for beneficial intestinal microflora.
Products entering the body must be selected so that their components have a positive effect on intestinal motility, making the process of eliminating feces easier. Some foods help relieve soreness and prevent intestinal mucosal injuries. Nutrition should provide the body with vitamins, useful trace elements. Potassium, magnesium, which stimulate the reduction of the gastrointestinal tract, and iron, through which the anemia characteristic of many suffering hemorrhoids due to frequent bleeding, is especially useful.
