Diarrhea and Hemorrhoids — Watch What You Eat
You've probably seen or heard a television advertisement or two where they think words like "diarrhea" and "hemorrhoids" are going to disturb you, so they quickly get to the point to spare you as much disgust as possible. I, on the other hand, am here to disgust you as much as possible. During periods where you don't eat the same things you routinely do (like during the holidays), and eat in places you don't normally eat (like your cousin's house), then things like diarrhea and hemorrhoids are going to bother you.
Diarrhea
There's no avoiding it. At one time or another, you're going to get diarrhea. You can reduce your chances by staying away from extremely spicy foods, as well as keeping your hands clean. You'd be surprised at the number of bacteria in even the cleanest of places. It only takes one bacteria to cause you all kinds of discomfort.
Loose bowel movements are sometimes called diarrhea, even though diarrhea isn't the proper term. Eating foods that you don't normally eat can cause both loose bowel movements as well as constipation. It's an unfortunate part of life we have to deal with.
Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids, on the other hand, can usually be avoided. I won't go into all the details, but my wife suffers from hemorrhoids, as a result of childbirth in 1985.
Childbirth is but one of the causes of hemorrhoids. Any kind of physical strain, including the strain of overcoming constipation, can cause hemorrhoids. What does diarrhea and hemorrhoids have in common, you might ask?
Diarrhea and Hemorrhoids
Diarrhea, as well as normal loose bowel movements, can cause hemorrhoidal tissue irritation and flare-ups. Anything that causes a strain on the anus or the rectum will contribute to hemorrhoid problems.
Hemorrhoid sufferers should avoid anything that will constipate them or loosen them up, including diarrhea-type conditions. Laxatives should be avoided at all costs.
Happy Holidays
Seriously. You've probably heard this a million times, but I will reiterate: Be careful out there. Enjoy the holidays and the food, but watch what you eat so that you can enjoy ALL OF the holidays and avoid the after-holiday misery brought on by diarrhea and hemorrhoids.

Did RT really post a blog about diarrhea? Now there is an article you don’t see every day. I guess the point could be, keep that meet fresh and clean so that that Christmas turkey doesn’t give your Christmas guest more than they bargained for.
Yep, I really did. Look for more disgusting articles in the future. I'm not holding back anymore.
Any of those happening while on vacation would not be fun at all. Around thanksgiving I got sick and stayed indoors for a couple of hours. And by indoors I mean in the bathroom.
Been there, done that. I empathize completely.
Wow I didn't know that you could get hemorrhoids from birth. Thanks for the tips.

I don't eat much differently during the holidays so I don't think I need to worry about this. Hemorrhoids are pretty nasty though, I was just reading about them on Wikipedia, and I'm very happy I've never had one (and hopefully never will).

I like this part of your article
"Enjoy the holidays and the food"
Is it bad that this article and topic has given me the giggles? Very childish indeed. Thankfully I've never had hemorrhoids however my wife did get them after the birth of our first child. Trust me that and recovering from child birth is a double whamming!

The perfect article for this holidays when we all think about diarrhea and hemorrhoids
Just a quick tip here: If you have diarrhea dirnks lots of water! I won't go into details about what happens inside your bathroom time, but just let say that you lose water.
A real eye opener, thanks! I'd recommend plenty of fluids and some Immodium. Stops it faster than you can say 'Jack Robinson'!
Be especially careful when you go to another country—don't dive into the local cuisine.
Stick with basics—eggs, vegetables, fruit.
If you start eating like the locals every meal, you'll be running for the toilet. Go easy.
You don't have to be carefull in all countries. Malaysia as an example. You can can ANYWHERE. The goverment even checks the smalles stalkers. I don't know about south America. But a lot of Asian countries serve save food everywhere
I find that sitting too long in one place can also cause Hemorrhoids. Eating the wrong type of food can also cause it… and the best way to detect them is to record what you eat in every meal. What is your opinion?
stay away from mexican restuarants lol
Is there any correlation with Mexican food?
Hemorrhoids usually are not dangerous or life threatening. In most cases, hemorrhoidal symptoms will go away within a few days. Though in some cases, hemorrhoids might need to be treated endoscopically or surgically.
this is to funny!

Congratulations. I don't know whether to thank you or barf. Either way, you gave me a lot of food for thought. Seriously, it was really informative and I enjoy every bit of it. Next holiday, I'll know what to do, or at the very least, I'll know why I'm bothered by my diarrhea. Thanks
Thanks for the advice. Though very often I visit hotels and I don't prefer hotel foods. But anyways, once again thanks. And wish you a safe and happy holiday too.
Hahaha, I loved your article!
And the image is really funny.. lol

hemorrhoids are becoming so common thanks for sharing your experience. Hemorrhoids can be embarrassing until you realize just how many people have them these days. thanks I will be back again to read future posts.
I have just had a bout of gastroenteritis and it was very unpleasant. Mercifully I was spared haemorrhoids at the same time but the best advice must always be to see your doctor! Thanks for the thread…very useful!
Be careful when you go to some another country. Don't try lot of the local cuisine. And drink more water
My latest blog post: There is no way to prevent cancer of the testicles – the only protection is early detection.
And when people are suffering from diarrhea they are using medicine way to soon. Wait at least one day. Diarrhea is a sign something is wrong inside and it has to come out! After one day think about medicine
Not only foreogn holidays but watch out when you are camping this summer too. Always carry some Immodium with you and I alwys keep some tissues in the car just in case. You never can be too careful!!
More and more people are switching to natural cures for hemorrhoid treatment as they treat the causes to make sure the symptoms are gone for good. Products like H Miracle and Venapro are having great success.
Thanks RT for the information. I too suffered from hemorrhoids after the birth of my first child just like your wife.
