Personal Log – Aug 3 2012
I’ve gone for months without writing here. I’ve been busy with research. On the hair front my hair has continued to thin slowly.
I found that eating gluten doesn’t suit me well. I went off and on gluten to test this. Gluten containing foods are made worse the more they are processed because of added pollutants and unnatural ingredients. For instance eating a sprouted whole grain slice of bread is not as bad as eating a bagel from a bagel shop.
But now my diet is largely gluten free and with this diet comes less constipation of IBS for sure.
I also found taking enzymes very helpful if one is forced to eat foods that are processed or unnatural (fake foods), or an apple and even some castor oil to get the food out of your system quickly.
I’ve utilize Castor oil effectively as a laxative. I buy the Walgreens small bottles or the Now Foods brand, make sure it says Food Grade on the bottle.
A few other tips I found useful to cause bowel movement are: drink plenty of water especially in the AM as soon as you wake up, naturally move more (any physical action, walking jogging yoga even stretching etc), and finally which is likely the least known of these is to get your feet cold. I found walking barefoot and getting my feet cold (either sleeping with uncovered feet or walking barefoot in the house).
