Thanks for that info, sol: ............but I wonder about the conclusion, that the cs doesn't have a whole lot of impact in the colon. This is from my own 'labwork', my own body.
I am semi-retired; drive a school bus about 4 hrs per weekday; I didn't keep any records, but starting around the first of this year, I was ingesting about a gal. of cs/gatorade [i'd sa 'atleast'], the mix being APPROX 3qts Gatora, 1qt cs [6-8ppm ish]. After 3 to 4 weeks of being quite regular with it, I realized my eliminations had become quite loose and herx like; my sense was that the good flora was being killed off; that my digestion was not being complete. I stopped the cs, continued with the GA, did acidophilus caps big-time, and after several days, my digestion/system seemed to balance out, the stool returned to what's normal for me. I'm sad that I didn't keep a log on all this 'cause I am to the age where 'senior moments' are main events and I am sure I've lost some important detail to my experimentation..... but my sense is the cs did get to the intestinal flora and [in tech. terms] screwed up that part of my digestive process. I am still a big-time GA chugger and I plan to add the cs back again in a while and I will try to keep better data. .........comments anyone?? davido On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 17:48:53 -0700 sol <sol...@sweetwaterhsa.com> writes: > http://library.thinkquest.org/22016/digestion/?tqskip1=1 > http://distance.stcc.edu/BIOL102/Lectures/lesson13/humandig.htm > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion > http://www.framingham.edu/faculty/mcarrol/fall2001concepts_files/digestio n.htm > > In addition my basic family medical guide says the "normal > intestinal > flora" in the human intestines are found in the colon, not in the > stomach or small intestines. > > Thus there are NO "good bacteria" in a human stomach.
