Ugh, that sounds gross! I’m sure that works for people without neuropathy, but since I know that nerves that tell my colon to move briskly and normally are “broken”, I’ve focused more on what foods to avoid (bran would form a thick sludge in my colon that would sit there and expand) and find a daily supplement or mild laxative that helps. I don’t want to always have special food combinations on hand. That’s just extra irritation. Since I have about 25 more years of dealing with this (I’m 62) I want something easy and efficient. But try it and report back!

I really like your concept of "focused more on what foods to avoid." I am histamine intolerant and certain FODMAP food option will cause gas/bloat and constipation. I've been working with my nutritionist to see what works well and what's not. Hopefully I will find a combination that will work for me for a long while. Thanks for sharing.
