I've always heard that too but now I'm wondering if it's true or not b/c I'm IBS-C. I feel guilty not keeping passover but b/c of food limits already I feel like there is nothing to eat! So.. does anyone know if matzah increases constipation? Why do people always say this if it's just wheat flour and water?
Because it is so dense? (Not sure, just a guess.)
And please don't feel guilty if you can't keep kosher for Pesach -- I already blew it this year, but I was planning on pretending to be Sephardic this year anyway. It's just too hard to adjust to my brand new IBS-diet and then to take out all grains / corn syrup / legumes / etc. on top of that! In my head, I have justified my failure to comply by comparing it to the exceptions to fasting on Yom Kippur -- you aren't supposed to do it if you are too young, too old, too sick, or too pregnant. So I figure I am taking care of my health, and that is more important this year. Then again, I am not the most observant, so I shouldn't be a poster child for when it is okay not to observe.
