Slow transit is a nuisance at any time of year.  Add indigestion to the mix and last night I couldn't take my evening medication  .  It came on ages after we had eaten.  Now I'm eating raw cauliflower and wonder if it will cause symptoms - watch this space !  I'm eating it slowly 

[CLKD]

Slow transit is my biggest problem unless I don't eat properly - what ever that might be 

I need lots of roasted veg.  I need to up my exercise as I found regular walking helps loosen up my insides.   Actimel has made a difference to my movements.  When I go on holiday without access to them I notice that everything slows down.

Eating every 3 hours helps, even in the night.  Ginger biscuits are a good stand by as are dried fruits and nuts.  DH can eat fruit until it comes out of his ears without any reactions.  Apparently .   

I think too that we become less resilient to some food stuffs as we age.

I'm going to try actimel,im sure slow transit is one of my problems,it's not that im constipated, I just don't need to go,then I blow up like a beach ball.laxitives just give me really bad stomach cramps,I've tried REALLY high fibre diets but nope,doesn't work either

[CLKD]

I found that I needed 3 pots a day ;-).  Strawberry with full fat, not the 0% stuff, helps my got a lot.

I don't eat red meat often, last week I had a small steak, fried.  Ate half, the next day my bowel was so slow.  Felt heavy.  I could watch the spasm moving food across my lower belly  and it took two days B4 I felt comfy again.  Anyone else find similar?  Also, baked beans cause a lot of pain 

[Wrensong]

Yes CLKD, red meat is so hard to digest it can be like a roadblock.  We don't often eat it & when we do it's always with masses of veg.  Yes to pain from baked beans too & seems to be getting more of a problem the older I get - a nuisance as the fibre is useful!  Have read that many people under-produce the enzyme needed to digest beans & pulses & that can result in cramping & the other effects they are notorious for!

[CLKD]

I love cauli., but that's caused pain about 5 hours after eating it  .  Peas however, OK so far.  'roadblock', love it!

[Wrensong]

Yes CLKD - brassicas are another family that can be hard to digest.  You are a glutton for punishment girl!!

[CLKD]

   yep  but must get my veg. done me daily and I love most!  Haven't tried kale, spinach reminds me of school dinners  but broccoli, apsaragus, spuds, peas, green beans of all types ......... cabbage raw ..........

[Wrensong]

Yes, I love veg too CLKD & eat loads of it.  Kale can be bitter, but I mix it with other veg & serve in a French mustard sauce which usually gets around the bitterness enough to make it palatable.  OH seems to have fewer bitterness receptors in his mouth - he can never taste bitterness in greens, beer etc.  Lucky him!

Broccoli gives me pain and I love it 😔
