Guest guest Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 > > I figured out why on the protein/fat diet.. the diet needs to be mostly fat to prevent constipation. I figured this out after experimenting with bile salt supplements. After taking one capsule of the bile salts I had 3 loose bowel movements the next day. But why? I opened the bile salt capsule and it was the most bitter thing i have ever tasted. So the " extreme bitterness " /acid components stimulated more bile than I needed thus causing diarrhea. The reason why I say bile is that I could feel my liver working harder than usual and my colonic showed more bile than usual. This is why coffee enemas help people with liver congestion. The bitter qualities/components of the coffee stimulates bile production which helps with healing. > When we eat fat it stimulates more bile production thus keeping our bowels moving faster. So when we eat too much protein were not getting enough bile production to keep the bowels moving fast enough. Bile is mainly produced to break down fats. Not to mention that some meats are higher in iron which can be " slightly " more constipating. Probably depends on the toughness of the meat as well. Red meat definitely makes me slightly more constipated than fish or chicken. Just my personal experience. > HCL caps do not contain actual human HCL, but rather it is derived from beets(betaine HCL). So it is the " bitter " qualities from the HCL caps which helps with digestion. > When I have a colonic done my best releases are when bile is released into the colon through the constant flow of water going in and out of the colon. So the bile(which I can visually see in the colonic tube) stimulates the colon to release more. +++Hi , It is well-known that salt is diuretic, which means it makes your body get rid of water along with minerals, so that explains your loose stools. Coffee enemas also do not stimulate bile production! You need to read why the coffee enema works and how it is processed by the body. No your reasoning is way off, since that is not why a person gets constipated when they change over to this program. The fact is that both protein and good fats increase liver and gall bladder health, and they both stimulate the gall bladder to empty itself of bile. That along with the fact that most of the fats on this program do not require bile nor any digestive enzymes in order to be absorbed and utilized since they go from the small intestines through the lymphatic system directly into the bloodstream. Here are some reasons people starting on this program get constipated: 1) When you've been consuming high carbs/fibres they make your bowels move faster which: a) does not allow time for your body to absorb nutrients needed for cellular health, and does require intestinals muscles to move as usual and which also stretches them out. See this by Dr. Jan Kwasniewski, M.D. the Polish Doctor who created The Optimal Diet: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods17.php Also in Life Without Bread Dr. Lutz describes how intestinal muscles stop working when you consume high carbs/fibres, particularly raw carbs, in his book Life Without Bread. This is how it works: You eat food and the waste is moved along the bowel by circular muscles in rather the same way as a worm moves (it's called peristalsis). If you eat a high-fibre diet, the fibre itself forces waste through and that peristaltic action is made redundant, i.e. not needed. After a while it stops working. Now you change to a low-fibre, more natural diet, and your bowel muscles don't work as they should, so you get constipated. But the muscles will recover if you keep eating properly, which is what my program is all about. 2) When a person is unhealthy their cell membranes are not constructed as Nature intended, which includes cells in the digestive tract, liver, gall bladder, red blood cells, white blood cells, etc. http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal13.php#a26 3) Also toxins make all cell membranes rigid/stiff as explained here: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cabout1.php I suggest you read more so you can " think with " the correct information before making assumptions. If you want to learn what I've learned you would need to study Physiology of Humans (however a lot is not true because it is twisted to modern medicine), and also Animal Biology (which has more truth about bodies), and read about Plant Biology, on how the body heals itself naturally, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hi Bee, I have read your reply on this subject, and had a question related to fats. I am going on two weeks on a all meat diet. It has not regulated my bowel yet? Any thoughts? I am eating all animal fat on all meat, coconut oil, ghee butter, eggs. My ratio of fat to protein is in the range of 75-80%. However, I am questioning if I am having a problem digesting fats. If I am, do you recommend coming off the all meats? I am trying to eradicate both bacteria and yeast. My bowel symptoms are more, and although surprising with the all meat, I have painful gas, as I did before the diet.I have been off carbs for quite some time, so I know it is not that. I had been on a veggie and meat diet before going to the all meat. Thank you Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 How long should you remain constipated? It doesn't seem like it would be very good except for very brief periods, which is the reason I added my tablespoon of ground flaxseed back into the diet routine. It just did not seem right to be staying constipated when just a small amount of fiber helped. I don't consider a small amount of flaxseed a high fiber diet. Is it? > > @@ Snip > > +++Hi , > > It is well-known that salt is diuretic, which means it makes your body get rid of water along with minerals, so that explains your loose stools.

The reason you are getting gas again is because your body retraces all past symptoms, illnesses, diseases, organ malfunctions, reactions, etc. while it is healing itself: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php Of course you should only do the all meat and fat program once you have increased your fats to the lower range of your ratios and been able to stay at that level or higher. Your body couldn't possible have fat digestive problems with the fats I recommend because most of them do not require bile or digestive enzymes in order to be absorbed and utilized like other kinds of fats. That is because they do not have to be processed through the liver, and instead they go from the small intestines through the lymphatic system directly into the bloodstream - see this definition and images of the lymphatic system: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/lymp1.php In any case bacteria and yeast cannot be eradicated, since that isn't how it works. That is because your own body creates bacteria and yeast when it needs them. Therefore, when you are healthy enough your body automatically " changes " candida/yeast (or any bug, cancer, etc.) back into the organism it is supposed to be when the body is healthy. It's like the manure pile and the flies, with the manure pile representing the poor condition of the body. You cannot get rid of the manure pile by killing off the flies or trying to eradicate them. You must clean up the manure pile instead, which means getting healthy according to Nature's Laws on Health. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it? +++Hi P, Of course flaxseeds are very high in fiber. On fitday.com 1 cup = 41.9 total carb grams of which 39.6 grams are fiber. Since our bodies cannot digest fiber your large intestines is forced to change into a fermentation pot by creating bacteria and yeasts in order to break it down (like herbivores do), so that's why fibers is so damaging to the body, and why I don't recommend nuts, seeds, grains, or raw plant foods of any kind, including vegetables -see Raw Versus Cooks Carbs to understand: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/veg3.php Doctors mislead us in many ways since they always work at reversing natural body processes with treatments to stop the symptoms, but they do not treat the cause of symptoms, which are always the same: 1. Lack of the correct combination of nutrients that all humans need in order to be healthy. 2. Lack of oxygen at a cellular level. 3. Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and waste because of an inability of the body to detoxify like it should. 4. Lowered vitality (energy) due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, losses, relationship or financial worries, being unhealthy, etc. 5. Poor " Nutritional Status " acquired from parents upon conception. The better way to help your constipation is by taking megadoses of vitamin C - see my constipation article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig1.php If you got constipated after starting on this program it is mainly because you changed over to it too quickly. If you were constipated in the past your body will retrace each and every episode while it is healing itself, and direct treatments aren't as able to change or correct that natural process: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
