Avoid the following foods if you are suffering from piles disease (haemorrhoids):

Spicy foods: If you're suffering from chronic constipation and piles, spicy foods are your biggest enemy. Switch to a diet with lesser chillies and heat inducing spices and avoid binge-eating on street side foods. Your body will thank you for your decision.
Too much cheese: If like me, you're a cheese lover, the very thought of completely excluding it from your diet will make you feel depressed. While having the occasional cheese sandwich or pizza with extra cheese won't hurt you, excessive consumption will only aggravate your piles disease. Modify your diet by having cheese only once a week and add it to your salads or sandwich so the fiber will help you in digestion process.

Meat: After spicy foods, the other kind of food items that can make your piles or hemorrhoids worse is meat. Red meat specifically is more difficult to digest. If you've been noticing blood in your stools and constantly feel constipated, switch to a vegetarian diet for a while.
Alcohol: There's nothing wrong with having the occasional pint of beer or glass of wine but if you have the habit of going out with your friends and getting drunk every weekend, you need to stop. Alcohol causes dehydration which in turn worsens constipation and the symptoms of piles.
Processed and deep fried foods: Most working professionals don't have the time or inclination to have healthy, home-cooked food. If you're one of those people whose kitchen is stocked with ready-made food and your idea for dinner is a burger and french-fries, it will make your piles go from bad to worse.
