Hi,another valuable remedy for this is tender coconut water,it is soothing to the soft mucosa of the colon.cooked apple also aids the healing of this condition because of its ample cocentration of iron and phosphorus.plenty of liquids are important.ripe banana and butter milk are highly beneficial in this treatment.food should be prohibited are white sugar , white bread and white flour products and highly salted food.take care
