Dietary modification are very important in addressing this. I would suggest you to have frequent smal meals instead of heavy ones.
Avoid spicy food, fatty food, processed and pre prepared food, avoid coffee, carbonated drinks, dairy products. Avoid or reduce the intake of meat add more fiber to your diet. Eat lots salads, vegetables, fresh fruits,
You can take probiotics like sporolac or ecobion which will be beneficial and you can take curd. Avoid alcohol and smoking if you do. Along with this good toilet habbit will be helpful. Follow this measures you should see improvement.
