Yes, and for some it is metabolized as an estrogen, I am told.

Is that true? Gosh, I never heard of that, is it an allergy or something?
Vitamin E is also found in whole grain breads, perhaps folks with Celiac,
like my daughter, can`t take it.
Vitamin E is so essential, I wonder what can be done?

In my experience, the easiest way to get rid of hemorrhoids or varicose
veins, (same thing) is to take Vitamin E. Just be sure to get the real thing,
Tocopherol with an O, not Tocopheryl with a Y, as the latter is fake.
I take about 400 to 800 IU for a few days until the problem is gone.

I put 3/4 cup CS in a bottle with 3/4 cup witch hazel, add a few drops
of DMSO and one or two teaspoons of glycerine. If you don't like glycerine use
castor oil. Shake well. At the first sign of any discomfort, use a little of
this on cotton or soft paper wipes (keep in contact with the painful area) and
you have the equivalent of the best over-the-counter products for treating and
preventing hemorroids. Gel packs can also help (the kind that are sold in
drugstores). As far as prevention is concerned, making sure you get enough
fiber in your diet is probably the best advice as is getting enough
exercise--walking every day--because you don't want to be constipated--and of
course you want to drink enough water. Consider limiting your intake of
inflammatory foods as well.
In the eastern traditions, they advise contracting the sphincter or the
reproductive organs for a few minutes every day. This can help us age
gracefully--especially if we are no longer sexually active--and it prevents
incontinence.
Be well.
