I thought about not posting this, but then decided that if I was having trouble others might be as well, and I couldn't in good concience keep info that helped me FROM the people on this site who are all so supportive.

Okat so after induction I was really constipated and got a bleeding hemorrhoid. I won't go into the details, but I found this place that sells essential oils to fix them. I can say after using the oil for 1 week and suffering for 2 months before that that oil works. I am using a few of their other oils and they work too. If you are interested give them a try. I just thought I'd share.

Thanks for sharing. I have had problems for years (long before I ever heard about Atkins) and haven't found anything that helped much. Will have to check this out.

Thanks so much for the info-I get tired of buying really expensive creams and suppositories and have them not even work.
I have also noticed that I get hemmorhoids when I get diarrhea also -sorry maybe TMI!!!!
