Salon.com, a fascinating website, had this article some time ago. Didn't see it posted in here. Considers the link between constipation and civilization and talks about historically significant people who also sufferred from C. Even as a non-C type person I found the article interesting. http://www.salon.com/health/books/2000/06/...tion/index.html

I just looked at that article again. Don't miss the righthand sidebar title "shameful emissions!"

Right beside an article on bowel problems! I wonder if they did that on purpose, or would only an IBS'er catch the implications?

Thanks for posting this, Lakegirl! I've seen it before and want that book.

It really does look good, and, hopefully seeing it here will help me to remember to order it.JeanG

Just to add to the article, the ancient Egyptians also had "purge houses" where they went for a daily colon cleansing. In addition, Napoleon lost his last battle due to hemmorhoids. I believe he also had other colon-related problems.
