"And don't see those Indian herbs as something you should be on or off .. because those herbs are food and have certain properties that greatly aid digestion. I use a lot of spices when cooking - not only for health, but for taste too."

That is certainly a good way to look at it. I don't entirely understand the action of the Chinese & Indian herbs I am taking, which is why I went to an herbalist in the first place. But I guess they are food, something the body accepts as digestible & useful.

"Are you Vata dosha by any chance? I believe Vatas are more prone to constipation."

Yes, mostly vata, but I have some pitta thing going on right now, too. I've been prone to constipation probably all of my life...something works for a little while, then stops working (have seen that one repeated on this forum quite a bit).

"Okra in ghee and spcies .. very good for small intestine cleansing."

Sure feels that way. I was taking some okra pepsin from Standard Process...and then thought, duh, I like eating okra, why don't I just eat it.
