I’m on a new, healthy, high-fiber diet and I feel great after two or three days on the diet. My typical day’s meal consists of a large bowl of high-fiber cereal for breakfast, soup, assorted nuts, and natural popcorn for lunch with plain yogurt w/ granola for dessert. Then, for a mid-afternoon snack I may have a Yoplait whips or some cheese. Then, some whole wheat pasta with veggies and applesauce is a dinner favorite. I also drink about six glasses of water. But I always feel hungry, any tips on filling high-fiber foods? Thanks =)

So I just started having internal hemorrhoids 3 days ago. I believe it started when I was constipating and tried to push a big chunk of hard stool out. Then I saw bright red blood on the outside of the stool that could turn the color of the water in the toilet bowl into a weak and tainted/diluted clor. The blood was also on the tissue paper once i wiped my butt, but after a few wipes it was gone. What are some home remedies in addition to eating veggies and fruits to cure my hemorrhoids? I can not go to the doctors as I have a flight to catch tonight.

Well I lost my dad about 7 years ago to bowel cancer; he was only 45 years old when he died. We’ve been told this is quite young and that all 3 of his children, myself included, should have tests for it as we get older. I was 15 at the time, now I’m 22, what age should I start having tests done? Also if anyone knows, is the risk for me and my siblings of getting bowel cancer very high?
My dad didn’t actually eat vegetables, but I have my 5 servings a day and always have. Mum has always fed us well, dad just left the veggies on his plate. Dad was naturally thin though and didn’t ever get sick, except for that of course. I’m thin too and don’t get sick much either but the doctors did tell us we would need to be tested when we were older, I’m just wondering when should I start?

I know the Atkins Diet works, but I could not stick to it. I am trying the high fiber diet, I should say eating 100% whole grains and high fiber veggies and beans.

I have Diabetes type 2. If I eat whole grains they are "high" in carbs so how can I lose weight. Whole grain foods and legumes are all high in carbs. They are also very high in calories. What is the benefit of eating healthy when I cannot lose weight eating all these carbs? I need to lose 40 pounds.

I am very confused as to what to eat. Is Atkins the best, of course for short-term. Are whole grains helping me lose weight? Should I do a low-calorie diet and of course low-carbs and no sugar. Nothing is working for me.

My Diabetes is under control and that is not the problem, losing weight is because I am not sure how to diet.

What about 1000 calories a day? That would eliminate meat with 0 carbs. How about salads, yogurt and whole grain bread?

I need to know what to eat to lose weight.
Good point. I would like to gain three years of my life having sex. So tell me, where do I find an old man my age. ha ha Thanks.

My husband has an external hemorrhoid that has been bleeding for almost 3 days. he puts pads in this underwear when he goes to work, and he fills up like 3-4 pads a day; it’s a lot of blood. I’m worried about his health, and he’s worried about it not going away. It is causing him a ton of pain, and he has been taking tons of fiber supplements and veggies with lots of fiber, and he still says his stools are not any softer. PLEASE HELP!?
We also do not have health insurance and not a lot of money. so no suggestions of "buy this kit!", please. I wouldn’t post on y!a if i had the money to buy a cure.
