Questions people ask
Piles & fissure diet chart: common questions
How much water should I drink for piles?
About 2.5–3 litres a day for most adults, unless your doctor has restricted fluids for heart or kidney problems.
Is curd good for piles?
Buttermilk (chaas) is gentler and usually preferred; curd at night is often avoided in Ayurveda.
Is ghee good for piles and fissure?
A small amount of ghee with meals helps soften stool for many people. Specialised medicated cow ghee colon therapy is a separate treatment given as the doctor prescribes.
How long should I follow this diet?
At least 6 weeks for a fissure, and ideally as a lifelong habit to stop piles coming back.
