I have been searching;mostly in vain ;

for the digestible science that you offer. You are a mind of beauty and a joy in the world of sharing.

Illuminating as always. A couple of points may need clarification, though. You suggest dietary fibre to aid in motility, but that is a huge category including many carbohydrates, which may or may not be an essential macronutrient, and may not aid in motility at all. Maybe some clarification is needed on that question? Soluble and insoluble fibre is an important distinction.

If a person's digestive function is suboptimal, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted with warm water 20 minutes before a meal is helpful, as are digestive enzymes. Exercise is also recommended, whereas immediately turning to pre or probiotics without proper research/guidance can actually worsen some conditions.
