re: Hemorrhoids and weightlifting, gonna get gross

i had similar problems for years. once i cut out the vast, vast majority of the alcohol and nearly all processed foods from my diet, it went away. 90% of my diet last 8 years is grass-finished whole-cow beef and farm-raised eggs. i have maybe one alcoholic beverage a month. i havent had blood in my stool in a decade. i really miss having 4-5 drinks with friends over a meal; dont miss the processed foods at all. Every day goes by its a little easier to live without the alcohol

im no doctor. just my 2c. good luck with this

btw im a lifter also. the big compound lifts and kettlebell work. when i had this problem i was not a lifter. mine was a diet and lifestyle problem. hope this helps
