When you have symptoms (belly pain, diarrhea, a lot of gas), choose foods that are easy on your gut. The trick to managing the disease is to choose foods from the left hand column when you have a flare up or an upset in the functioning of your gut. These foods are low in fiber, fats and are easier on you.
Copper pipes corrode as well, but (theoretically) over a longer period than the galvanized types. Generally a copper pipe can last 50-70 years under good conditions. PH levels in the water and grounding both affect the pipes and speed up corrosion extensively.
There are three different types of pipe material that may require replacement: â¢ 1 Copper pipe can fail due to corrosive water or soil, defective pipe material, or poor installation. â¢ 2 Galvanized steel pipe, like in the photo above, has an average lifespan of 40 to 50 years, although it can sometimes last much longer.
