Was: Bloating / Constipation now Fats and Constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi Caine,

Pardon me for butting in here, but I've been waiting to see if someone was going

to address your thinking about fats and constipation. I have had problems with

constipation as well at times, and wouldn't want you to go off in the wrong

direction.

It has been said many times on this forum that one can get constipated if one

does not eat enough fat when eating protein. I'm not saying that is what caused

your recent problem. But I believe it's a mistake to think that good fats

contribute to being constipated, as you have indicated a couple of times in your

posts.

Personally, I have experienced that eating meat fat seems to move things along.

My mother-in-law once took about 3/4 c. homemade vinegar/olive oil vinaigrette

dressing at a meal and told me later she had had about 12 BMs that day. And that

wasn't meat fat.

So I don't think there's any need for you to cut back on your good fats for that

reason.

All the best,

H.

I have consumed quite a bit of good fats though, and maybe thats not helping.
