Plumbing Drain Lines not Sloped

I don't know the terminology, but I know enough to know that the shite pipe is supposed to have a slope to it, and not run 20 ft horizontal.
The easy answer is just re-run the shite pipe at a slope, right?
But the main drain pipe it enjoins is high enough up that the enjoinment doesn't allow for slope.
So now I'm replumbing the whole shite show, right?
I know they have "shite shredders" in Germany, can I just put one of these in line?

I think the proper slope is one hundredth per foot on sewer pipe. You don’t want too much slope because the water will out run the solids which turns into a blockage.

On 20’ that would be less than 1/4 inch

This thread has kinda come in handy when looking at homes for Mom to move into. Because of this thread I was opening cabinets and looking at drain pipes for things like tubs and disposals. Finally got some usage from the Bubble Level app on my phone I downloaded years ago!
Turns out the one she decided to buy has a 4 degree backwards angle off the disposal they are gonna fix. Instead of draining down 4 degrees it was 4 degrees up from the disposal unit. Just like if it was a toilet, gotta run downhill or gonna have waste running back into the disposal and ending up stinking and stuff if not corrected. 1 out of 10 homes had this error.
So thanks all that contributed to this thread!
