Not sure it this post should be in the health section or here but as I wanted to know from a research perspective have decided to post here.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading on ‘traditional diets’ lately (American Indian, Eskimo, Masai etc.) and got to wondering about their bowel habits…..especially the ones that live mainly on meat and fat. They obviously don’t/didn’t get a lot of fibre in their diet but I’ve seen no mention of increased rates of colon cancer or anything like that in any of the literature I’ve read.

Lots of people complain of being constipated when low carbing but are they really constipated or just not going as often? As long as you’re not truly constipated, how important is it to go “regularly”?
