Answer #1

Basically you want to keep your stool soft.

Therefore eat lots and lots of fibre via food.

Carrots, peas, raisins, prunes etc through out the day. (stay away from fibre supplements, in some cases they can worsen the symptoms)

Stay away from any food that makes your stool hard like pasta, white bread etc

Then lastly drink 8 glasses of water a day. That will also help make it more comfortable.
