    When my kids were little I found something that worked for us if they'd ever have constipation (usually from getting fast food) which consists of a small bowl of prunes and a full apple or a couple apples. They have to chew it themselves, no chopping, a fully intact apple with skin will stimulate their digestive system starting at the mouth in a smooth moving manner and not too quick as not to cause loose stools. Making sure to get in lots of water, and a good walk is vital.

    • @betzib8021
      @betzib8021 4 месяца назад

      That kind of strategy with kids is great...with their smaller digestive systems and colons that are not tortuous or elongated. But it is completely useless for adults who really struggle with this condition every day. An entire package of prunes does nothing but give us gas and pain. Apples have 0 effect.

    • @Petunia-fl9lu
      @Petunia-fl9lu 4 месяца назад

      surprisingly being WFPB or vegan does not fix all health conditions, prevent cancer or heart disease or benefit everyone. surprise surprise. My experience with my own child's consultation is that there's a magic formula - beans are terrible - if you eat a lot of beans take them out and see how you go. they can be very binding. Bananas as well. Also do a test to see what your transit time is. the slower your system the more 'insoluble' you need.

    • @Petunia-fl9lu
      @Petunia-fl9lu 4 месяца назад

      it's too much fibre. that's all. the recommendations are 25-30g a day. try cutting back and having more insoluble.

    You know, there's a story about kiwis and New Zealand. Let me tell the truth about this lovely little fruit and it's connection to New Zealand. In fact there is no special connection to New Zealand. The fruit originally came from China and were called Chinese gooseberries and there was a bit of resistance from Australians for a little while. I grew up with the Chinese gooseberries name in Australia and they grew wild all over lands that abutted farm lands and along the roadsides along with wild passionfruit vines, wild blackberries, chokos, lemons and Granny Smith apple trees. Well, that was along the south east coast of Australia where we holidayed as young kids. The soils are a little more fertile than most of the Australian continent. I don't know if it was the same in New Zealand. Anyway, in tbe 1950s New Zealand farmers appropriated Chinese gooseberries as their own and began calling them kiwis after the little brown flightless birds native to New Zealand. If you google kiwi birds you will see they look just like the bird form of the fruit. They are very cute. Back to the farmers, they just started to grow kiwis and they launched a massive worldwide marketing campaign to make the 'theft' of Chinese gooseberries official in the early 1970s. For little New Zealand, our Gondwanaland cousins (look that up too, it dates from the separation of Australia and New Zealand from South America and Chile in particular 180 million years ago in the Jurassic period. Chile and New Zealand share similar soils, vegetation, tall mountains, lakes and ancient fiords. Australia is the oldest continent on our planet and doesn't have any of these characteristics, hence our very different vegetation, animal and birdlife. So, there you have the cheeky story of the appropriation of kiwis by the Kiwis (our nickname for our New Zealand cousins). Do check out the birds because the name of the fruit makes so much sense once you've seen kiwis the birds 😊

    I have recently been diagnosed with IBS. Nothing works! The gas, bloating, pain, fatigue, constipation/diarrhea are miserable! I feel like I've lost my quality of life. Had every test imaginable to rule out other things. My 6th GI told me it's chronic. Yes! I know! I have suffered with this for years! He put me on Rifaxin, then Movantic. They didn't work. The 1st one was $800. My pain management doctor put me on Amatiza which helps a little. I had this before the pain med. He basically told me to have a nice summer & good luck! GI's get frustrated with me. Is there hope for getting rid of IBS? I'll try eating the food you recommend & get your book. Thank you. I take so much just to go that a normal person would be crapping their brains out!

In others they have too much wheat which has issues for them. It's a mystery and not one solution.

    I've been working with a continence nurse to help my child who has neurogenic constipation. Beans and bananas and more soluble fibres ARE worse for my child. It took a lot of work and food diaries and experimenting to find out - now she's pooping every day or second day - a beautiful number 3 on the Bristol poop chart. No more beans/oats/chia/banana etc. Less fibre - and mostly insoluble. Before you stuff more fibre - remember it binds with nutrients and can be bad for you - particularly for children they can be deficient in nutrients with a too high fibre diet...due to anti nutrients that's why fibre requirements are set low - anti nutrients in plant foods.
    regarding consultation solutions - important to test foods, and keep a good diary. Have a big cleanup with magnesium and then have a base diet and test food around that.
    She now has steak and green beans and broccoli for dinner, two eggs for breakfast and chicken or fish with brown rice and quinoa mix for lunch with or without apple or raspberries etc.
    before that we were doing oats for breakfast, or baked beans on wholegrain, blueberries etc and bananas every day, it just clogged her. too much SOLUBLE fibre - and syllium husks were not good - but then again her problem is a neurogenic constipation - so as Will says, important to know why you are constipated.
