I've had a problem with defecating eversince pregnancy and childbirth. My problem with haemorrhoids is still mild and through the years, I've found some non-medicinal relief :
1. Drinking lots of water
2. Muesli
3. Psyllium husk. (this tastes terrible, and is difficult to swallow but it works wonderfully! A more pleasant alternative is Fybogel)
4. Exercise - lots of walking. When we were holidaying in Honolulu for 3 weeks and had no wheels, we walked everywhere - at least 2-3 km everyday. Defaecating was a breeze!
And now that we've run out of muesli, this works in the meantime - green apples and orange fruit blend :
It's wonderfully cheap at the pasar malam. 30 green apples for only RM10. 
I don't quite understand why people say psyllium husk is yucky. OK, it doesn't taste nice, just sawdust-like. Quickly gulp it down right after the stirring, not giving it any chance to expand and turn gel-like and yucky.
