RE: Lava Monster Casserole + Cauli Chips
I googled the food to take whilst on LCHF and suffering Gastro. Those three came up the most often and one site recommended them for "bulking up the stool".
As for raw Broccoli... It's at its most fibrous and marginally most nutritious when it's raw. Butter and soft cheese merely helps it down.
If these work for you guys, don't take this as a criticism, and go for it!
But, just as an observation, that may be of interest to others, I'm unconvinced about the need for fibre, even on a LCHF diet. Protein and fat should digest pretty fully, and may not produce much stool. And crucifers like cauli and broc, especially raw, can be really bad for the thyroid, for a person with any weakness in that area.
If it's an occasional remedy, for slowing things down when there's a bug or something, that's different. But taken regularly may not be a good idea for many people.
I'll keep that in mind the next time I mention doing raw broccoli. Thanks for the heads-up.
