Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 There's been lots of chat lately about constipation lately, so I thought I'd chime in with one old comment and two new ones. Here's the Constipation Paste, which was posted quite some time ago, and which I make to take every day. Anti-Constipation Fruit Paste From Bobbi Woodward, PLS 1 lb. Prunes 1lb. Raisins 1 lb. Figs 1 c. lemon juice 1 c. brown sugar 4 oz. Pkg Senna Tea Steep tea 5 minutes in 3 ½c. boiing water. Strain to 2 c. Add fruit and boil until soft on stove top or in microwave. Add sugar and lemon juice. Puree in food processor. Add more tea if needed. Freeze. Take 1–2 T. per day New thoughts - I think the Senna Tea (which you buy in a health food store) is the most potent ingredient. You might try just drinking a cup a day. Finally, when I had my first colonoscopy last month, the doctor told me that I had " a very elongated bowel " and that " it is a condition he has found in many others with neurological diseases " ! He further explained that the elongated bowel partially explains my constipation problems. My neuro had never heard of this symptom. I've since talked with one PLSer who has the same condition. Are there others of you who've been told you have an elongated bowel? Thurza ps - I really wish all of our anecdotal symptoms were tabulated, don't you?
