Eric,
What is the MT stance on what bowel movements can tell us? I haven't seen anything in the MT literature. Hopefully, I didn't miss it somewhere. Paul Chek has a chapter in his book on the subject. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I agree with Cheks asseration that the consistency of faeces is more important than number of daily bowel movements. I remember when i used to follow traditional eating guidelines and force-feed myself lots of grains, and i was crapping about 6 times a day, but it was horrid smelly, sloppy, lumpy, and had bits of undigested food in it. When i switched to a more 'paleo' diet (which, unbeknown to me at the time, matched my matabolic type), my bowel movements went dont to one a day, but it was much better consistency - not sloppy, smelly, or showing bits of undigested food. This is a much healthier sign.

What do you think of Professor Loren Cordain's work?

I think on the whole what he preaches is good - that we should eat more in line with our paleolithic ancestral eating habits, although i think that some folks can tolerate more 'neolithic' foods like beans, grains, and dairy when eating infrequently, and i disagree with his emphasis on polyunsaturates and the use of canola oil. Regardless of metabolic type, i still think eating foods that can be eaten straight from Mother Nature, like fruit, leafy veg, meat, fish, shellfish, and most nuts and seeds, should be a priority

What do you think of Professor Loren Cordain's work? I think that most of the points of the Paleo diet are excellent. However, it is still just a broad generalization and nowhere near as individual-specific as knowing one's Metabolic Type or reactive and sensitive foods. Nevertheless, it is an excellent first or second or intermediate step and much, much better than not having any sort of dietary plan (not saying you don't have a plan, Bill! I am just making a general statement). |

Paul Chek has a chapter in his book on the subject. Any thoughts? Thanks. I agree with much of what Paul Check says in "Eat, Move, and Be Healthy". What bowel movements can tell us is somewhat the state of our digestive system (extensive), perhaps mucosal barrier, and whether one or multiple FHC's are out of balance. I know this is perhaps a touchy subject, but if you would like feel free to be more specific either here or via email. I believe you have my email address??? |

Eric,
No specific questions or issues. I just thought that this would be something that the MT program would definately asddress and was suprised that I didn't find anything. I can definately tell the difference when I'm eating right and not. Thanks.
