Matzah - the bread of affliction       04/09/04 01:41 PM Edit Reply Quote AstroChick Reged: 12/30/03 Posts: 1023 Loc: Chicago, IL, USA Well, matzah shouldn't be constipating, but it ends up feeling that way! I think the problem is that there's a lot more water in bread/rice/cooked grains than there is in matzah and most people don't compensate and drink lots of extra fluids. Not that I've kept kosher for Passover recently, but back when I did, it was major C time. The refrain from my parents when I talk with them about Pesach is "boy, this matzah is binding!" Maybe some adventurous kosher v'Pesach IBS person could try drinking an extra glass of water or two for each piece of matzah, and telling us if this helps? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
