yes, spaw I did mean that!
However I have also read that the usual "presecription" diet of white bread and bland foods is not necessarily a good treatment even when the attack is on since this is the type of food that caused the condition in the first place...I think I read this in one of Lendon Smith's books recently (he is a bit of a pioneer in the food as medicine movement). I will look it up...
there are some less fibrous foods that are nevertheless more nutritious than Wonder bread. A simple vegetable broth made by cooking celery, carrots and potatoes (then tossing out the solids and drinking the broth) is excellent; full of vitamins and alkalizing nutrients.
