I know there's a support group in Wheaton, but that's kinda a hike, especially on a weeknight. I also read there was a group that met monthly at the Soup to Nuts store in Geneva, but that they quit meeting. Anyone know of another in that area?

Thanks! Michelle in IL

      Thanks for your input. 
    • trents
      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
    • Churro
      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week. 
    • trents
      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done recently?

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
