21 Dec 2011 – Before you flush…take a look at your poop. If it takes you two, three,
four or more days to have another bowel movement…..or you grunt and ...
I once worked in a school and shared a toilet with several male teachers. I would go to the toilet and take about a minute. My faeces were always soft and sweet smelling, the result of a regular diet of in-season mangoes and pineapples, bananas, pawpaws and vegetables
There were teachers who would sit for half an hour. Their faeces were as large as a small cob of corn and be as tightly packed. The faeces could not be flushed being so strong and large.
It was obvious that they were not eating right. They were eating large amounts of meat that made their digestive tract acidic. A diet of fruit makes the system alkaline. And their faeces smelled to high heaven.
As well they were eating large amounts of processed food. White flour is the worst as it sticks to the walls of the colon.

We have to think of our digestive system a little like a water slide at a fun park. Children slide down on a surface that is slippery and lubricated with water. They move at speed and are at the bottom of the slide within 10 seconds.
The digestive system is something like that. It is lubricated by water with the food passing down partly by gravity. But there is also the squeezing of gut muscles.
There are two sets of gut muscles in the walls of the digestive system. One tightens and the other pushes.
Squeeze-push, squeeze-push is called peristalsis and the food and faeces are pushed down towards the rectum. With push-squeeze-push squeeze, the food moves upward towards the mouth. This is called anti-peristalsis or vomiting. It tastes bitter the result of mixing with stomach juices.
What would happen to the water slide in the fun park if the slide were covered in a thick layer of muck? This can happen in the digestive system. Food passed so slowly that all the water is absorbed. There is part absorption of water in the colon.
The faeces become dry and do not slide. Faeces starts to roll into balls. This is called constipation. How do we speed the downward push of the faeces? Some water is supposed to pass out as lubrication.
We lay down a layer of slippery material that comes in the form of the fibre of fruit and vegetables. How do we make the soil break up and be soft in a garden? We lay down dry grass and work the fibre into the soil.
The fibre will also break up the faeces in our digestive system and allow a little air and water to penetrate the faeces just like soil in our garden. Then we no longer have constipation. And the soil of our garden is not like a large slab of wet cake.
Our faeces are soft and sweet smelling. We eat little meat that will be slowed and will rot in the colon.
The damage caused by diverticulitis in the colon will have the effect of impeding the action of peristalsis by damage to the two layers of muscles in the wall of the intestine. One is circular and the other is longitudinal. The food will be unable to be pushed forward and eliminated through the rectum.
