According to most web pages, hemorrhoids, inflammed veins in rectum,
are caused by increased blood pressure from sitting or standing,
straining, obesity, pregnancy, etc. Even my GI says the same. However
this does not match my experience. In my case, hemorrhoids are
strongly related to dairy, meat and peanut consumption regardless of
other factors like exercise, sitting/standing, soluble/insoluble fiber
intake, etc. Each time I remove them from my diet, rhoids dissappear.
Each time I add them to my diet, they reappear. I have observed this
pattern repeatedly over several years. Has anyone else noticed this
type of pattern? If so, which foods triggered rhoids?
