Here is a great warming soup to help that ileocecal valve stay closed during our rainy and hint of snow month of March. 

1 cup of dried navy beans             
2 medium carrots chopped
5 cups of water                                                 
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1 large onion chopped  
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
2 stalks of celery chopped
1/4 cup parsley
sea salt and pepper to taste    

Soak beans overnight in the water. In the morning, put beans on to boil. Meanwhile, saute onion, celery and carrot in coconut oil until golden, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add to the beans with the tomato sauce, parsley and sea salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Makes about 4 servings.
