How to fix haemorrhoids/piles?

@holyshineball
Here are some suggestions- Epsom salt bath, use plenty - expect some stinging if the area is irritated
- Bioflavanoids like Rutin in large doses like 2-3 grams will stop any bleeding that is due to tissue integrity factors (eat more fruit and veg) I like Rutin better than Quercetin since it seems to be absorbed better.
- Use a squirt bottle with Saline after BM's and avoid excessive wiping which causes micro abrasions and leads to inflammation. Avoid bleached commercial TP if at all possible. Use good defecating posture - we evolved squatting.
- Walking. Work up to 5 miles a day. High intensity is not needed but you must move lymph and the calf muscles do a lot of this work.

I have an on and off hemorrhoid issue that i can clear up pretty consistently by megadosing gelatin powder. 60 grams dissolved in oj before bed for a day or two usually clears it up.
That is quite a bit of gelatin. Does that give you any digestive issues? I've been making Jello, using Now brand gelatin, and at much less of an amount I feel it messes with my gut and digestion, causing constipation.
It would be interesting to know how you got to such a large amount, Did you try lesser amounts prior to the 60 grams?

@Mossy got the idea from someone on the old forum who was talking about doing the same thing for hemorrhoids and having really good results. I tried smaller amounts and found that 50 to 60 grams is most effective. you'd be getting 15-20 grams of glycine with that much gelatin, which is a big contributor to its anti-inflammatory effects, plus your GI tract is comprised of collagen so it only makes sense to supplement for GI healing.
don't really get any constipation issues with it, but i think i have really good motility. maybe some cascara with it for increased peristalsis could help?

@samson did you ever read anything negative about taking strait glycine?
I know Peat was generally anti isolated amino supplementation, but glycine has such powerful anti-inflammatory effects…
-
@LetTheRedeemed I'd imagine taking that much isolated glycine would irritate your gut. other amino acids in gelatin are also antiinflammatory.
"Some types of cell damage are prevented almost as well by alanine and proline as by glycine, so the use of gelatin, rather than glycine, is preferable, especially when the gelatin is associated with its normal biochemicals. For example, skin is a rich source of steroid hormones, and cartilage contains “Mead acid,” which is itself antiinflammatory." -peat

@samson great quote, thanks!!
-
@samson which brand gelatin do you use?
-
@sneedful now foods beef gelatin because its the best bang for your buck, if money was no object Id go for carnivore aurelias seems to be the highest quality on the market
-
@samson carnivore Aurelius is normie-adjacent. I told him he would abandon carnivore at one point, because he is cringe and gay, and that he wouldn't give any sort of apology or recognition that he led people astray.and what do you know , now he is peating, right? the fact you would even consider paying money to a guy with a greek statue pfp is cringe. he buys his collagen from a major supplier as do any other companies. the fact you think it is higher quality for some reason is cringe and gay. it's about as gay as "the golden one" selling crappy filler supplements with 10 minute photoshop logos, and this was before generative AI imaging so it isn't even as good as that. but thanks for the info on the gelatin.
all cows are pasture raised btw . its funny cuz peat is so critical of marketing but here you are shilling this marketing hype stuff. anyways, like I said, thanks, I'll try NOW. NOW is actually a good company not run by cringe-twitter-personas. and when I talk to them I can tell they aren't bullshitting me.

I appreciate the additional detail and suggestion. I've been thinking of cascara recently, but like with all supplements, I get negative effects. Maybe I'll try it in a tea form. Thank you.

Here is a quote I have from Peat in my notes. Of all isolated amino acids, he considers glycine safe.
It's worth mentioning that I don't feel well on it, but I know many others do.
“I don’t think it’s very safe to use individual amino acids, glycine is the only one I know of that is safe by itself because it can be used as energy”
-
@Mossy oh cool, thanks for that quote. It’s also good to know that it could irritate the gut.

@Mossy tea with sugar and milk was the only way I wouldn’t have problems with cascara sagrada
