Alright. First up, Fats.

There is controversy about fats. Alot recently. That your body needs fats to function is obvious. Saturated fat theories have come and gone.

The claim that saturated fat consumption has increased this century. This claim is not really backed up by any Science or common sense. However the consumption of transfats, and hydrogenated fats. All the bad stuff attributed to saturated fats are far more likely caused by these fats - particulary the man made ones.

If you'd like to see a good site with information about saturated fats http://www.mercola.com/2002/aug/17/saturated_fat1.htm

And list of vegan compatible saturated fats here

If you are in doubt about how this could effect your backside,
try adding a little saturated fat to your diet for a week. You'll notice how much nicer the elimination process is. :>

Enzymes are in your foods. These enzymes help your body digest properly.

Now, if enzymes in food worked all by themselves every plant would be mush already. Enzymes work in conjuction with your digestive system.

A lack of acid in the stomach, leading to a problem with digesting food can turn into a problem in the lower bowels as well. If you have a lack of acid in your stomach, please look up information about H.pylori which could be effecting your system.

You could also look into the lower bowel balance formulas, like Dr. Christopher's. I know that MH has some.

Here are some links to Enzyme theories.

Your body requires an alkaline balance to function properly. Eating in an alkaline manner will help. Get some ph strips from the health food store and check your urinary PH.

Don't be thrown off by confusion with things like "can I eat acidic foods?" An orange will create potash in your system, making a seemingly acid food actually an alkaline food.

A stomach with too little acid is not a sign of being alkaline. If you were functioning in alkalinity, your stomach acid would still be acid, and a vagina will still be more acidic. These are the way that they are meant to be.

As a vegan it is also possible to be TOO alkaline. Then your body isn't even breaking some things down at all.

Consider this. If your body is too acidic, and your food is getting through your system to your lower bowels without having dealt with the waste products of energy production, or only partically dealing with them, you are pooping out acid. You are pooping out waste that is still in the halfway state of being dealt with. Waste that is supposed to have more things happen to it before it comes out. These foods/wastes/partially digested products are getting to the lower bowel, and perhaps your lower bowel is thinned out in protest. The small openings in the intestines / bowels are letting particles out and your body is "venting" them locally - ie, into the skin and mucous membranes near your lower bowel.

That your anus might be complaining about this isn't surprising. :>

There is alot about PH around. Just type in alkaline diet into a search engine.

I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan. I'm a meat eater. So, I am probably part of a minority on these boards in not believing that meat eating will cause the world to end. I'm a Price-Pottenger, Nourishing Traditions type of gal.

So while I'm addressing the vegan / raw foods type of angle I myself do not follow it. I do pay attention to everything that I have written about/given short cuts to here, but within the context of a meat based diet.

I do hope that you find that some of this might help you. I just wanted you to be aware that parasites could be part of the problem, but so could a couple of other factors.
