Colon Hydrotherapy: Mucoid-Forming Activity of Foods

The foods here are listed in order of the intensity of their mucoid forming properties. Note that meats and dairy products are very high, while grains and sprouts are low-mucoid-forming.

High > Low

  • Dairy products
  • pasteurized or raw cow's milk but not raw goat's milk, butter, cheese cream, yogurt, kefir, whey

  • Flesh foods
  • meat, fish, eggs

  • Soybeans
  • tofu, soy milk

  • Other legumes
  • dry beans, lentils, dry peas

  • Buckwheat
  • grain, flour, cereal

  • Seeds and nuts
  • sunflower, sesame, pumpkin seeds, all nuts

  • Sprouts
  • The longer the sprouting time, the lower the mucoid forming activity. Bean and pea sprouts are totally non-mucoid-forming after 3 to 4 days sprouting time; grains, buckwheat, and soy are non-mucoid-forming after 6 days.

  • Honey
  • Mucoid-forming activity depends on source of honey; all honeys are low in mucoid forming activity, except for eucalyptus honey, which is relatively high.

Non-mucoid-forming foods

  • Vegetables and fruits
  • Completely non-mucoid-forming, except for gas-ripened and sulfured dried fruits, which are high in mucoid-forming-activity.
