😭 IBS?! Hemmeroids?? 😭

laura •
I just had my 2nd baby just over 2 months ago & I've recently developed what I assume is hemmeroids & possibly IBS. Does anyone have any experience with either of these that has any advice for relief?? I've never had either of these & they ate horrible. I've been reluctantly taking milk of magnesia [which is disgusting btw] for the past few weeks because the hemmeroid is so painful. But I'm breastfeeding so I'm not really sure I should be taking this much of a laxative. But also it seems like a LOT of things I eat these days makes me turn over in pain after eating. I eat pretty healthy. We buy a lot of produce & don't eat out often. So I don't understand why any of this is happening. I'm trying to increase my fiber intake because I feel my stools are just so hard [which could just be because of the hemmeroids]. Any advice?? I want to see a Dr but I feel like they're just going to tell me what I already know [increase fiber, eat healthy, etc.]
