So why do you say that your stool is acidic?j.
The majority of the things you read are based upon a study of some disease or
the treatment of some disease.
If you search around, you will also find data on healthy humans. Not as many
studies on health as there are on disease.
Healthy blood is alkaline.
Healthy saliva is alkaline.
The healthy stomach can go from alkaline to very acidic in order to digest
food.
The small intestine is alkaline.
The colon is acidic.
All these pH ranges have been scientifically verified and the reasons for these
various pHs have been studied and reported.
Basically a diet high in fruits and carbohydrates feed the colon bacteria that
produce acidic byproducts, thus promoting a healthy, yet slightly acidic colon
or stool. A diet high in protein feeds the colon bacteria that produce ammonia
and basic amines like indole and skatole, and promotes a slightly alkaline
colon and stool.
The pH of the colon of healthy humans is slightly acidic. The pH of the colon
of diseased humans is typically basic.
