Problem:  Unable to properly process meat.   This is often times a hereditary factor passed on from parents.  My mother almost died from bowel impaction.  History on my mother’s side shows diverticulitis is prevalent.

Solution:  I use three over the counter products to solve this problem.  Two products, Metamucil and wheat grass are mixed with banana, Greek yogurt, berries and fruit juice to create a smoothie each morning.  By the way, I use a Vitamix blender.  That blender is simply the best.  The prune juice is consumed before going to bed, only on days I eat meat.  I do have some pretty interesting dreams as a result of drinking the prune juice.

• Unfiltered prune juice prior to going to bed (1/4 to 1/2 glass).
• Metamucil, orange flavor, mixed in a smoothie (1 tsp to 1 tbsp).
• Wheat grass mixed as part of a smoothie.  This will cause gas so use small amounts (1/2 tsp) when you begin using this ingredient.  This product is not all that easy to find.  I use Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass Powder contains 100% organic, whole leaf wheat grass”.  I purchase mine from GNC.  This product is readily available using the Internet.
