In reply to Jennifer Young. I tried trikatu for sluggish digestion, which is basically the gut motility issue the article is describing. Helped a bit after 6 weeks but I had to be consistent about taking it before meals

In reply to Arun Mehta. Yeah Vata-Pitta is tricky — what worked for my sister's constipation made my bloating worse. Makes me think the protocols really do need to be tailored rather than one-size-fits-all
