hi,
piles is a painful condition.
the treatment for it includes good intake of fiber and fluids.
fiber acts as a stool softner by extracting water from the body to make the digested material soft.hence it helps in passing stools easily.
if you're only taking fiber but not enough water you will land up with constipation.
hence i would advise you not to lessen the scoops but to drink more water.
thank you,
wishing you good health
