Hi, Dee, I have been wondering if what you are saying here, Dee, may be contributing to my digestive problems. Speaking of fruit, I am told that bananas are constipating. I eat quite a few of those in spite of my constipation since one ought to eat fruit and it is one of the few that work for my upper digestive tract. Apples and oranges, all citrus fruits give me problems with my upper tract, also. Also any of the more acid fruits. Right now I am using less in the banana line, trying out cantalope. It is a little hard to determine what is causing what since I am also working with a different doctor, a gastroenterology surgeon who does not want to do surgery on my bowel unless absolutely necessary. He has requested some testing and the testing preps always throw everything way off any sort of base. I also wonder about lettuce, think maybe regular headlettuce might be better than the romaine I use now. I am really puzzled by all of this, but what you are saying gives me food for thought. I have wondered about lettuce contributing to my constipation especially Romaine . I can see how it might clog up the works, especially if not chewed alot. Perhaps odds and ends of those leaves stick onto the sides of the colon and other things gather around them? For me, the trouble with the others is more the acidity, but for you maybe the stringiness of the outer part may contribute to pileups. Know from experience how hard these things are to sort out. Have you had any tests, like for transit time from food in the mouth to residue in the rectum? I doubt this is very helpful, but sometimes just exchanging ideas is useful. Ruth

Hi Wayne, I know that you didn't write the last two blocks , but I have a
comment to make about them.  This is pretty standard stuff, i.e. Most
doctors advocate high fibre/fruit diets etc., to avoid constipation, but
there are some people (me for one) who this has the dead opposite effect on.
 The more fruit/fibre/nuts I eat, the more constipated I become.  Lettuce,
which has the opposite effect on most people, will cause a 'traffic jam'
(being delicate) for days!  Seed (pumpkin) have a horrendous effect on me i
e. They make me horribly thirsty. Just wondered if you (or anyone else) had
heard of these phenomena.  Dee

I did not write the two blocks below.

=======================

A diet rich in fresh fruits will provide the vitamin C needed to build
strong blood vessels. Include wheat germ and avocados as a regular part of
your diet to obtain vitamin E, which dilates blood vessels and helps prevent
phlebitis and varicose veins; wheat germ and avocados are also excellent
sources of niacin, which prevents blood-clot formation. Other good sources
of niacin are nutritional yeast, dates, figs, fish, eggs and the white
poultry meat.

Omega-3 fatty acids from flax seed and fish oils are natural blood-thinning
agents that improve blood flow throughout the body. Particularly good
sources of fish oil are trout, mackerel, salmon, herring, sardines, cod,
halibut and shark. Use two tablespoons of flax seed oil daily on salads and
baked potatoes, or in any dish that does not require heating to high
temperatures.



Eat foods which will prevent *constipation, particularly those rich in fiber
 Raw vegetables with the stems left on, fruit with the peel and core,
cabbage, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, nuts and seeds, dried plums, figs,
dates, whole grain breads and cereals are good sources of fiber. Flax seeds
are a natural laxative, and can be added to cereal or taken as flax seed oil and used as a dressing for salads or baked potatoes. Flax seeds absorb water
and soften stools.



=============



That is a start.



Wayne
