I have on hand in case I become constipated?

Only thing that ever worked for me was plenty of well-cooked zucchini.

But that's not a standard remedy. <g>

I've added a " Getting Started " file to our library which has

some links. Explore Elaine's web site, and you will find a constipation

protocol.

I just checked out Elaine's site and found the following for constipation:

Get on the introductory diet for two days. Then introduce the muffins, one per day, along with COOKED AND PEELED vegetables and fruits. Raw fruit and vegetables (with the exception of the ripe banana) can aggravate both diarrhea and constipation. When you are adjusted to the diet, we can then start the treatment for constipation altho the diet alone may do the trick. Introduce a few stewed prunes with your breakfast - about 3-4 for about one week. See if that helps along with the SCD.

Thanks, Marilyn, for your help and for the "Getting Started" file. I noticed that and read it earlier today.
