Does anyone know of a good substitute for either of these?
My bowels cannot tolerate either. I had a partial colectomy due to a genetic mutation that left about about 2 feet of my colon completely overtaken by pre-cancerous polyps.
Some of the side effects are frequent loose stools and hemorrhoids.
When I use the carrot salad these side effects are exacerbated to the point that I am using the bathroom way too often and the hemorrhoids are irritated to an intolerable level.
Bamboo shoots are worse - a single tiny strip is too much!
So - are there any alternatives that will not increase bowel transit/irritation, but give the other benefits - anti-aromatase, absorption of Estrogen, anti-bacterial, etc?
