I started taking resistant starch in the form of raw green banana powder after decades of undiagnosed digestive issues.

I had been to doctors, gotten colonoscopies and endoscopies and other tests, elimination diets, etc.

One week of this powder mixed with water and my ever present mild diarrhea is basically gone. It's as close to a miracle cure as I can imagine.

However, I haven't lost a single pound or lost a single inch from my waistline.

I have, however, gained muscle, because I can now work out more because I'm not constantly fatigued and my body can recover much faster so I'm lifting weights quite steadily.

I'm so enthusiastic about this that I sound like a bot or a shill but it is what it is.

It doesn't work as a bulking agent like psyllium husk did. I can vary the dose and take it with or without food on a full or an empty stomach and it still works making me think that it might be related to changes in microbiota. I apologize for too much info but I must add that the solidness and color and smell of my feces changed completely and that my digestive system has slowed digestion.
