Why is it surprising that this diet works so well at restoring digestive health? That was the question I set out to answer, once I gave the program an honest effort and saw the amazing results. I hadn't been a vegan, and still do not entirely agree with that dietary regimen, but I followed Dr. McDougall's vegan program as he outlines it in Digestive Tune-Up (I cheated with a little coffee).Previous to McDougall's diet, my digestion had been terrible. I had a huge bloated belly, chronic constipation, and low energy. It seemed that no matter what I ate, I had trouble digesting it. For the previous two years, I had been eating Paleo-style. The only thing the Paleo gurus taught me was that if you want to have about one BM per week, go ahead and eat a ton of meat. Then try correcting the problem with heaps of veggies so you can add gas, cramps, and bloat to your list of digestive woes. One of the major tenets of the Paleo philosophy is this: Keeping blood sugar down is essential to good health and longevity. (Translation: All carbs are the devil. Carbs raise blood sugar which raises insulin, which is an inflammatory hormone. Also, all carbs are equally malicious because they all turn into "pure sugar," and sugar is the fodder of yeast, bacteria, and cancer). Among the Paleo community, "starch" might as well be a four-letter word. Rice and potatoes are viciously maligned because of their impact on the sacred blood sugar dogma. To make matters worse, many Paleo gurus suggest that fiber is not particularly important. One overweight Paleo advocate even goes so far as to say that if you drink enough water, fiber is unnecessary. Sure, whatever. Keep eating those sticks of butter for breakfast.So needless to say, I was a bit dubious when I began eating all the starch that McDougall recommends. But after two years of constipation, cramps and abdominal distention, I was willing to try anything. McDougall recommends limiting fruit to three servings per day. In my experience, I discovered fruit was less problematic than some of the gassy, gluten-containing whole grains like wheat and barley. He also recommends limiting vegetables to three servings per day. I think this is good advice, as vegetables can be too hard on the intestines. But the biggest surprise of all was that my belly went flat within a few days. If digestive disorders are caused by bacteria overgrowth in the small intestine (as the Paleo gurus theorize), then starch would make symptoms worse because it travels so far down the digestive tract (all the while turning to sugar and feeding the yeast and bacteria). My bathroom habits also normalized within a couple days, leading me to believe that many digestive troubles are simply caused by constipation, impaction, and the incomplete breakdown of animal protein rather than by bacterial overgrowth.It has been 9 months since I began the McDougall program. These are my conclusions: Most digestive disorders are probably caused by excessive consumption of heavy proteins found in meat and dairy, which rarely break down completely and contribute to impacted stools; excessive fats, which significantly decrease intestinal motility; inadequate fiber, which aids motility and reduces food intolerances. I believe that much of the time, bacteria are not to blame, and that furthermore, bacteria imbalances can be corrected by removing the blockages (incompletely digested meat and cheese) and increasing prebiotics (fiber). McDougall details how starch effectively rebuilds the lining of the digestive tract. He also makes a very strong case that humans are ideally suited for starch consumption and not so suited for digesting massive amounts of heavy proteins.I have come to respect Dr. McDougall quite a lot and I'll tell you why. Although he advocates a vegan diet, he does not come across as pushy and supercilious as so many vegans do. In fact, he does not even call himself vegan because, he says, so many vegans are unhealthy junk food dieters. Here's a guy who had a stroke at age 18. As he recovered in the hospital, he asked doctors what he'd been doing wrong and what he should do to reverse his condition and avoid dying young. Sadly, they had no answers for him. So McDougall set out to become a physician and discover those answers for himself. Still alive and well more than a half-century later, he's telling us what he's learned. It has worked for him and for thousands of his patients. It seems that McDougall was up against odds far greater than the average person; he managed to beat those odds and add more than 50 years to his life. In my opinion, that means everyone should hear what he has to say.Am I currently a vegan? No, not entirely, nor do I think it's necessary for good health and longevity. Nonetheless, I'm about 90% vegetarian and I'm grateful for the information I've learned from McDougall's books. I no longer fear carbs and I don't think that eating a potato is going to give me diabetes.Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck to everyone.
