The hemorrhoid patients can eat honey because honey is a Chinese herbal medicine that has a laxative effect and can also replenish the qi and replenish the deficiency, meaning that some people who are physically weak or have been hospitalized after an operation or have been feeling very tired for some time can eat honey to play a role in nourishing the body. It is not recommended for diabetic patients to eat honey because blood sugar is a very important factor for diabetic patients. Honey contains a lot of sugar and diabetic patients should try to avoid over-eating sugary foods, so if you have diabetes and eat honey, it may lead to aggravation of your diabetes. The same is true of honey, because it can cause bloating if the amount is too large. Some patients who eat more honey may feel their stomach growl that day and have symptoms of bloating, because honey produces a kind of ammonia after it decomposes in the intestines, and ammonia can cause bloating. So eating honey can be helpful for hemorrhoid patients because after eating honey the patient’s bowels will be smooth and the smooth bowels will not aggravate the condition of hemorrhoids, but diabetic patients should not eat it. It is also important that you do not eat too much each time, about a spoonful a day; and that you use warm water rather than boiling water, because the nutrients in honey are not resistant to high temperatures, and high temperatures may not be nutritious.
