QuestionI've been trying to heal and repair my colon after many years of chronic constipation. Do you know if there is there an organ meat that is more beneficial than another for nourishing and repairing the colon? Thanks.
AnswerWell, there is a common theory in the RVAF diet community(which I partially subscribe to) that "like cures like". In other words, if you have heart-disease it makes sense to eat the hearts from healthy (grassfed etc.)animals so that the nutrients in that heart can get eventually incorporated in your own heart and repair the damage. If you take that view, then you'd best try raw intestines(never tried them, I only tried them in cooked form, and I really hated the taste).
However, just eating a raw organ-meat in large amounts isn't going to be enough, IMO. You do need an overall rawpalaeodiet, avoiding all grains and dairy(and preferably all cooked food, at least until your health-problems are solved). Given your issues re constipation, you might also consider trying "high-meat". This is something that is usually only recommended for long-term RPDers, but it's an excellent remedy for constipation/maldigestion:-

I had chronic constipation pre-rawpalaeodiet and solved it by cutting out all raw and pasteurised dairy from my diet. Obviously, others may get it from grains etc.
