My ancestors are smarter then I thought
In my digestive/colonic practice I see lots of constipation, irritable bowel clients known as IBS and an array of bowl troubles. Many have stories of heading to their gastroenterologist with symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, gas and bloating. Typical treatment consists of drugs. The drugs prescribed, however, have side effects that are worse than the condition itself and only offer temporary relief because they do not address the problem.
Often a change in diet is suggested, specifically more fruits, vegetables and high-fiber foods. Sometimes the fruits and vegetables cause gas and crazy pain and an increase in fiber can in some cased causes constipation. Wow, why would that happen!
You need to look at the big picture, it is important to know and understand the environment in your gut and figure out what could be causing a disruption in normal movement and overall health of your bowel.
There are anywhere from 300-500 different species of bacteria that live in your colon. These bacteria help develop our immune system in our intestines and they are essential for us to process vitamins and minerals plus protect us against colonization of pathogens. You want robust and healthy colonization of bacteria in your bowel and you can do this with probiotics.
Probiotics are live micro-organisms that provide a healthy environment in your gut and can help to neutralize toxic compounds. How do you do this? The first step is to add fermented foods and/or a probiotic supplement to your daily regimen and you should notice a huge difference in how you feel and your general health.
While probiotic supplements are good but can be expensive, traditional cultures wove fermented foods into there diet. Naturally fermented, "live" foods have been around since the beginning of time. They include fermented vegetables like sauerkraut or kimchee, and milk products like yogurt, cheese, buttermilk, kefir the issue with the dairy solution is the protein in milk is Casein. Casein has proven to be carcinogenic or cancer causing. (read “The China Study”), other traditional forms are fermented soy protein like miso, tempeh and tofu. A modern issue with soy is it is highly modified rendering it hard on the body. Naturally fermented, unpasturized beers are some of the most complete probiotics available which should make your beer-lover in the family a happy camper. Let’s face it, alcohol no mater what your friends will tell you, is fun, but not considered a health food.
Get real and learn to like naturally fermented (from the health food store) sauerkraut because it provides one of the widest varieties of beneficial bacteria that are known to protect against everything from bowel problems to cancer. If your adventurous or Polish all you need is a little salt, cabbage and a crock pot and a plate to place on top to make it at home. Recipe
