Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it may be the ragi malt, which is rich in calcium. Calcium intake may cause constipation. As you already have piles problem, it's better to avoid ragi malt. Drink lot of fluids and take diet rich in fiber. Do daily exercises.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
