My Visit to a Gastroenterologist (12/5/12)
The HSD 
I have found that I now have a perfect bowel movement everyday if I take a teaspoon of bentonite clay powder in a glass of water before bed. It’s hard to mix in water but I found the best way is to put water in glass, then put teaspoon of clay, let it sit (I brush my teeth and get ready for bed), then swirl it around, drink, put a little more water in to swish around and get clay off glass and drink again. Maybe it would help you too. I found your blog looking up info about butyrate and have been enjoying reading it. I also am a homeschool mom.
That is fascinating! I’ll have to look into that. It’s in my toothpaste, and I think, but I’m not sure, that I’ve read about it for chelation maybe. As a still-nursing mom, I’ll have to hold on self-experimentation with it (I worry about heavy metals in breast milk) for a bit! But I look forward to reading about this! Thanks for sharing! And good luck homeschooling! Fun, fun, fun! (Most times…) 🙂
I have always taken clay while pregnant (helped with morning sickness) and nursing. My understanding is that it sops up bad stuff and holds onto it until eliminated. I might have to check that out myself, although it’s a little for me/my kids, would like to know. Yes homeschooling is fun (except when I’m feeling too much self pressure).
You got me really curious! Morning sickness too! I hate(d) morning sickness!
Read gutsense.org and begin with the author’s history! https://www.gutsense.org/author/about-konstantin-monastyrsky.html I was all set to be on board entirely with resistant starch. See what you think but don’t miss this site. You’re a great webauthor, attending to answering questions, too, I found as I read through the first several comments on the introductory Butyrate article. Amazing, great.
Hello, Nandarani–Did you try what he recommends? Did it help you? What did it help you with? I have seen that eliminating certain fibers/foods can help people, but I still feel like in the long run, plant matter has to come back in the diet.
