Since bowel problems and constipation are common (and difficult for many people to discuss), I thought it might be helpful to start a thread listing some ideas for dealing with these problems.
Three common Peaty tips are...
(1) Eat a carrot daily to reduce the amount of endotoxin-producing bacteria in the gut.
(2) Supplement with cascara sagrada.
(3) Replace fiber and starch with non-starchy fruits, honey, sugar, &c to avoid feeding bacteria. If you eat potatoes, boil the heck out of them (40+ minutes) to eliminate most of the starch.
Any other tips, strategies, advice, wisdom, &c for promoting bowel health and avoiding constipation?
Thanks in advance to all who contribute.
