So....what is the ideal case?

From the reading I've done it appears that ideally speaking we should have a bowel movement for each meal. In Dr. Schulze 's text he refers to people who have bowel movements 20 minutes after each meal!
Now, does that mean that if everything were working as it "should" and there was no constipation at all.....would the bowel movement after each meal....be to eliminate the waste from that meal? Does that mean that in this ideal case, the most meals we would ever have in our body/system would be one?
If the answer to the last question is yes, then I guess this would mean that we digest an entire meal in less than an hour, right?
I'm just trying to get a handle on what I should be striving for as I continue down this bowel cleansing path.
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 119,949Ideally it takes less than 24 hours for food to make its way through the digestive process...18 is very good. You should have 2-3 meals in your digestive system at a time...one going in, one coming out and one or two being processed. In addition to the number of bowel movements you have a day, the quality is also important.
There are a number of characteristics present when the bowel has been well cleansed, provided that a healthy Diet is consumed that is void or low in mucoid-forming foods. The bowels will move 2-3 times per day...usually shortly after a meal has been eaten. The quantity of feces tends to be greater as it contains more moisture and therefore less compressed. The stool passes from the body very easily with no straining and is neither runny or mushy. It is smooth and cylindrical in shape, walnut brown in color (unless the diet contains a significant quantity of carrots, beets, greens, etc. that result in corresponding colors). It has little or no odor, and generally exits the body in one long piece...not smaller pieces lumped together. The feces are fully formed, initially float and then slowly submerge, and should begin to crumble when the toilet is flushed. Once cleansed, the colon can maintain a high concentration of healthy flora...which is not possibile in a toxic colon.

MoreThis is a reply to # 119,956If there are 2-3 meals in the body at all times, then why does a bowel movement ideally occur shortly after one eats? Doesn't seem like there should be any connection between eating and the bowel movements....unless one's eating schedule is fairly constant, and one's body simply gets trained to that time schedule.
Is there some other reason for the timing?
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 120,020Eating stimulates the peristalic action of the digestive system. This is a wave-like motion that moves food-chyme-waste through the GI tract. If you're consuming food on a regular basis the body recognizes that when a new supply of nourishment is coming in it will expel the waste. If you have a pet or pay attention to animals you will see that they will eliminate shortly after they have eaten. There are close to 30 feet of intestines twisting and turning in an average adult...not to mention the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. It takes time for food to go through the various digestive processes and make its way through the digestive system.
I guess I'm confused why you're confused...
Let's say your body was free of any solids...you've been fasting and you've flushed out your system. You eat meal 1 and then 6 hours later you eat meal 2. Meal 1 is still in the process of being digested, but has a way to go. 6 hours later you eat meal 3. Meals 1 and 2 are making there way through the digestive system...still in your body since it takes longer than 12 hours for meal 1 to be processed and eliminated. Then you eat your next meal...4...he next morning...meal 1 gets eliminated (sometimes before you even eat...since plenty of time has passed)...and on and on. That makes 2-3 meals in your digestive system at once. If you don't eat as much or have erratic eating patterns you wouldn't be as regular, and if you eat more meals a day you may go more frequently...but it still takes a certain amount of time for food to process...which is called the transit time. You can test this for yourself by eating a lot of beets and determining how long it takes until you pass them.
