Well, I'd moved to Singapore for about six months and I returned (to India) a few months ago. Like the dog that didn't bark in the night, the time in Singapore was perfect - speaking of my digestion - without any special effort. But after I returned, the same old bloating and hard stools (sometimes quite painful) recurred. Obviously, these conditions became sufficiently irritating that I was forced to analyse. After a bit of thought, I realized that the Chinese-ish diet in Singers was mostly soup-like with lots of hot water, whereas back here at home it's stiff grains like wheat and corn with lots of husk, with much less liquid ingested. So I figured I should try to make what's going in be of similar consistency to what I knew worked. I decided I would try it for a week, strictly, and it worked wonderfully. And so I've stuck to it.
