Nothing I could add would improve Bunny's advice. Makes perfect sense.
Juliano's recipes add garlic, cayenne, (he uses jalapeno, but cayenne would do) and ginger to every dish - reportedly to add a sense of "heat" to these cold foods. As these herbs also improve digestion, Juliano might have been forward-thinking enough to realize the digestive benefits. Might try adding the herbs right to the food, as Juliano does, instead of as a tea, or a capsule, etc. (Asians do, Natives of India, etc. many cultures use herbs in the food that also improve digestion.)
Have fun with your food!
