hemorrhoids

[Christina]

A couple of years back I developed a mild case of hemorrhoids after having been constipated for 5 days
They still flair up once in a while and being on the Wai diet for 6 months hasn't helped get rid of it. I got this herbal tincture called Butcher's broom which is some brush from the mediterenian that's supposed to alliviate it within 8-10 days. But my digestion is weird since taking it. Yesterday I had cramps and diarrhea and today I couldn't go. I'm otherwise regular on this diet. What should I do?

I think i would continue the treatment and see whether your digestion will eventually go back to normal. If not, then you can abandon the treatment to see if that helps.

Thanks, RRM.
I had already changed to a topical homeopathic cream called Nelson's hemorrhoid cream which I found under pregnancy and organic mom stuff. It works well. Mine are not itchy any more.
