I'm a walking science experiment for digestive health.

I've been battling Stage 4 colon cancer for the last 7 years. What I eat can play a major role on how I feel. Since I have a colostomy I can also see exactly how something can affect me in many ways.

Cooked carrots are my absolute go to. Without getting too graphic the carrots seem to have the best cleaning properties. Believe it or not your colon can become "sick." This happens when things sit along the colon walls for a time. I can tell as quickly as 1-1/2 day. Coffee is so overrated.

I think what cooked carrots are doing for me is what pumpernickel bread is doing for you.

Gut health is often overlooked.
