Natural Laxative
This is really Phase II only but sometimes we have to break the rules.
My friend Fern found this in the cookbook that a cancer organization sent her. The book has all kinds of recipes for different situations like those days when stuff doesn't taste good, etc.
1 1/4 cup unprocessed bran
1 cup prune juice
1 TBS molasses or honey
1 cup apple sauce
Mix together and store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to seven days.
Stir before taking. Take 2 TBS at night before bedtime. Reduce dose to 1 TBS if 2 does the job too well! Adjust dose up to 3 or 4 TBS if the 2 TBS doesn't seem to work well enough.
The book says it's easiest to buy the prune juice in the 6-packs of small cans so that it stays fresh.

I know this is an old post, but as a nurse with long term care experience, I can tell you, yes, this does work. We call this "power pudding" and it does keep you regular.

It's the bran you buy to make bran muffins.

Another nurse popping in to state that hospitals use a concoction pretty much like this. Some folks prefer a heaping spoonful on an empty stomach with a warm drink.

In the baking section you should be able to find a box of bran ... just bran for making muffins.

Thanks, Susan. Since I've been on SBD, Dulcolax has become a friend -- and I don't want that friend.

I even have a friend in Alabama who could check brands or availability for you if you'd like. Natural is best!

I should be able to find things, but thank you for the offer. Where is your friend? I'm about 35 miles north of Birmingham.

About 45 minutes south-westish I think. It takes about that long to get to the Summit.

Willow, Cullman is further north than Remlap. I've been to Smith Lake many times. Remlap is closer to Oneonta, if you know where that is...
RNBSN, It's been a couple of weeks since I've had an apple. Sunday was my first day on ph2.
