Bolding of Starch Causes Gas in Bowels

by Chet Day

Dr. John Tilden was a late 19th century and early 20th

century medical doctor who turned to Natural Hygiene to

help his patients recover from a wide variety of

diseases.

Today we'll learn how the quick eating of starch causes

gas in the bowels...

"When digestion of starch is not started in the mouth by thoroughly mixing it with the mouth secretions, fermen- tation results, and gas fills the stomach and bowels, causing much discomfort. The bloating will in time cause constipation. When the bowels are distended with gas, persistalsis (compulsory action) is overcome, and obstinate constipation follows." -- J.H. Tilden

In other words, chew your food thoughly, especially if

you're having a starchy food. For food specifics, see
