As you probably know, moms tend to do most of the cooking in households, and they also tend to worry (the most) about what goes into their kids’ mouths (and what leaves their kids, on the other end). It’s a quiet (or not so quiet in some homes) but persistent concern. I think the book could help out a lot of moms… while offering up some humor. Health Magazine wrote a piece about the book earlier this month (http://diet.health.com/2009/06/14/traveling-diet/)
What is the Un-Constipated Gourmet? (from Danielle Svetcov)
It is a recipe collection of delicious dishes from around the world that have the double benefit of tasting great and calling you to duty. We’re not talking about mixing Metamucil into risotto, or spiking the Brandy Manhattan with prune juice. We’re talking about a recipe collection that stands beside (or perhaps just behind) How to Cook Everything and The Joy of Cooking, that competes on all levels—ease, taste, quality of ingredients, etc.—with great cookbooks for home chefs everywhere.
At the heart of every recipe are ingredients from god’s most “effective” food groups (think of them as “Superfoods” with an agenda) among them: fruit, legumes, chocolate, and coffee. Liner notes will help cooks with preparation, presentation, and conversation – e.g. nobody need know that the sumptuous red-wine compote with crème fraiche is mostly prunes. The book is not without dashes of superstition and lore too.
The Un-Constipated Gourmet will not be one of those harpy tomes that tell you to get off your ass, exercise, and eat low-fat foods. I’ve got no interest in cramping your lifestyle. If you’re 50, stare at a computer all day, and then stare at a TV all night, more power to ya. Just make time to cook great food, is all I ask. If you’re young and active and still suffer from bathroom envy, then you need this book even more than the guy above.
By the time you’re done exploring The Un-Constipated Gourmet you’ll be able to pick up a menu at Chez Panisse, Boulet, even the Waffle House and titter at the offerings. Chard with fish cheeks? Black bean hash. Ha! You’ll be able to look behind each food and know its purest scata-biological purpose. If all goes well, owners of The Un-Constipated Gourmet will be marching to the loo, chins up (leaving the book just outside, please).

I love organic remedies for the reason that these kinds of methods have already been used by people for years to get rid of constipation without medicinal drugs. I once had irregularity and I wish to share just one proven treatment method with you. Take advantage of mineral oil for bowel problems. This method really helps simply because bowel movements require enough moisture to go through digestive tract.
