Hello
I've had IBS all my life but recently found a complete remission of symptoms by the following diet:
Breakfast: steamed green beans, carrots, pumpkin & zucchini. A pot of black tea.
Lunch: salad vegetables: cucumber, gherkins, olives, cherry tomatoes, carrot
Dinner: beef bone broth with 1 piece of liver with carrot, celery, carrot, green beans
I had complete evacuation with this diet the next day and no IBS symptoms at all. I'm guessing the cause of my IBS is low stomach acid. Salads and vegetables generally are cellular, watery foods. Francis Pottenger theorised that digestive juices are hydrophilic and are attracted to cellular foods, as well as to gelatin, but I can't actually find any other scientific studies to back this up.
Does anyone know of any formal studies that show a definite connection between raw food / vegetables and ease of digestion?
Thanks.
