Contributing causes:<UL>
<LI>Bowel Infections: Yeast (no sugar, pearl acidophilus twice a day for half a year) or bacterial (antibiotics)
<LI>Food alergies / sensitivities: Smaller meals, more often. Try cutting out, for MONTHS, not days, the following: Dairy, beans, broccoli fructose, alcohol, caffeine. e.g. Eat only Bananas, Rice, cooked Apples and Toast (BRAT) with good vitamine pills. Maybe lean meats like turkey, chicken, shrimp. Also DO drink 8 full 16oz glasses of water each day.
<LI>Stress: Practice breathing from the bottom, yoga, massage, excercise. Hypnotherapy? Acupuncture?
</UL>

James Newton[JMN-EFP-786] Says

Foods to eat for better digestion:<UL>
<LI>Fermented Foods: Yogurt and Miso with "live and active cultures" for benificial bacteria, but only if lactose is not an issue. Otherwise, take the pills.
<LI>Ginger: Fresh ginger reduces spasms and has COX-2 inhibitors to reduce inflammation. Add as a spice in rice and soup, eat crystallized chunks or drink tea.
<LI>Omega 3 foods: Cold water fish (salmon) or flax oil or walnuts.
<LI>Rice: Rice has ferulic acids which may help heal the digestive system. Basmati has the most.

Avoid: <UL>
<LI>Spicy or acidic foods: Tomatoe sauces, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, cafein, citrus, etc...
<LI>Relaxants: Peppermint etc.. since they relax the lower esophageal sphincter. Fatty foods also do this and they slow digestion which keeps food in the stomach longer.

James Newton[JMN-EFP-786] Says

Good foods that you probably <I>should</I> eat:<UL>
<LI> Bananas: Potassium, fiber. If you look, in most southern states of the USA, you can find local trees. You haven't lived until you have tasted one that ripened on the tree.
<LI> Rice: Cheap, stores well (add salt to keep out bugs, rinse off before cooking). To cook without fear or special wares: Set a calander into the top of a pot. Add two parts water to one part rice below, and fresh or frozen veggies above then set a lid down into the calander to trap the steam. Set on high just long enough to boil, then turn to simmer and leave for 15 to 45 minutes.
<LI> Apples: Cooked <I>not</I> raw. Try with margerin and a little brown sugar. Or in a pie. Or blend into a sauce.
<LI> Cantaloupe: 1/4 per day for all the Vitamin A and C you need.
<LI> Sweet Potatoes: Carotenoids, Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. More like carrots than potatoes. Try with apple sauce or pineapple.
<LI> Oranges: Folic acid, fiber, and Vitamin C.
<LI> Beans: Garbanzo, pinto, black, navy, kidney or lentils. Protein, iron, folic acid and (of course) fiber. Cook well; avoid the cost of heating by using a solar oven. Chew well. 
<LI> Spinach or Kale: Calcium, Vitamin C. If you can grow your own spinach, wate until the outer leaves just start to take on a yellowish tint and then trim them away leaving the inner parts to take thier place. They will be almost sweet and nothing like the canned or frozen junk.
