Having bowel problems! Help!

I am about 11 months out and have lost 135 pounds. I have noticed in the last month or so that my bowel movements have been getting different. The past few weeks have been bad! I used to have diarreha a lot. Now my stools are harder and caue pain! I developed hemmerhoids a few months ago as well. SO now that the stools are harder, the hemmerhoids really hurt! I have read a lot of other posts about this issue. Perhaps my increase of carbs is causing the difference in bowel movements? I have tried creams and suppisitories for the hemmerhoids. They work temporarily. Should I try a stool softener like Citrucel? Does anyone take acedopholis (sp?) for intestinal health? Any suggestions would be so appreciated. I also have bad smelly gas a lot of the time. I am just a bundle of joy lately! Ha! Please help!
