Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Spontaneous contractions of the digestive tract play an important role in almost all animals, and ensure healthy bowel functions. From simple invertebrates to humans, there are consistently similar patterns of movement, through which rhythmic contractions of the muscles facilitate the transport and mixing of the bowel contents.
These contractions, known as peristalsis, are essential for the digestive process. With various diseases of the digestive tract, such as severe inflammatory bowel diseases in humans, there are disruptions to the normal peristalsis.
To date, very little research has explored the factors underlying the control of these contractions. Now, for the first time, a research team from the Cell and Developmental Biology (Bosch AG) working group at the Zoological Institute at Kiel University (CAU) has been able to prove that the bacterial colonisation of the intestine plays an important role in controlling peristaltic functions.
The scientists published their results yesterday - derived from the example of freshwater polyps Hydra - in the latest issue of Scientific Reports.

Haha... This maybe truer than you realise.
If your poo is golden, you're probably not breaking down Bilirubin. That isn't good. I think this impacts kidneys (as they must excrete it, a bile product, instead of the intestines) - it damages them and causes hypertension. If your Vitamin D level is down, it's even worse. You need a lot of light and a tan. For those interested, Google 'blue light bilirubin'. There's also a brilliant Youtube video explaining how bilirubin is processed in the body and the various syndromes when this does not occur properly.

Have you tried carrots in large amount? Like sauteed or mashed instead of potatoes? Good amount of fibre.
Except, when you go out... if you look at the product, you'll notice a striking resemblance with Trump.

Hmmmm... No, don't recall. :)
It may be worth having blood bilirubin and vit d level checked. I recall some proposed linkage between elevated bilirubin ( Gilbert's disease ) and beeturia. Possibly due to gut issues.
