Diet Chart For Piles Patients

Why Diet Matters

One of the biggest reasons piles occur — and sometimes recur even after surgery — is constipation caused by low-fiber foods and poor hydration. Our diet often includes fried farsan, oily curries, and refined flour snacks, which can make stools hard. A high-fiber, balanced diet with plenty of fluids helps keep stools soft, prevents straining, and supports healing after surgery.

Foods to Include

  • High-fiber fruits: Papaya, guava, apple, banana, chikoo
  • Vegetables: Palak, methi, dudhi, tinda, carrot, beetroot, cabbage
  • Whole grains: Wheat roti, jowar/bajra rotla, brown rice
  • Dal & legumes in moderation: Moong, masoor, chana dal
  • Fluids: 8–10 glasses of water, buttermilk, coconut or lemon water
  • Healthy snacks: Sprouts, roasted chana, boiled corn
  • Soft, easily digestible meals during the first week

Foods to Avoid

  • Spicy/oily snacks (sev, gathiya, pakoras, bhajiyas)
  • Refined flour items (white bread, maida puris, cakes, pastries)
  • Red meat and heavy fried non-veg foods
  • Carbonated drinks and excess tea/coffee
  • Excess pickles, papads, and processed foods
  • Overeating or eating late at night
  • Smoking and alcohol consumption
