Is lotus root allowed on the Tayyibat diet?
Yes, prepared
Yes, but only prepared the right way. The verdict follows from his rules, not a ruling he gave.
Why lotus root needs preparing
Yes, cooked soft. Never raw. Raw, the rough fibre scratches your gut lining and passes through barely digested. Cook it soft and that problem disappears.
The detail
Cooked soft, not raw. Hard seeds and rough insoluble fibre abrade the gut lining and pass largely undigested, which is why kiwi is out and raw carrot with it. Prepared this way, that objection is removed.
The rule behind the verdict
Hard seeds and rough fibre
Did the doctor say this himself?
Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
