Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Thanks for this recipe. My mother has tried nearly every laxative in the stores. they only seem to work for awhile. Right now she's using Senekot which seems to be doing the trick. Because she's always been " told " that you should never use a laxative for fear of becoming dependent on it, I think she has it in her mind that this means her, too. ) So, between her family physician and I, I think we've finally got it through her head that it's OK for her to take a laxative every day or nearly every day to keep things moving. ) Take care, -Jane ********************************************* When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 There was another recipe that was floating around a few years ago for a high fiber paste... Vera do you have that one? -----Original Message-----From: Bvpond44@...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Barb Pond, While that homebrew may help, I am sure it is not enough for most MSA constipation. The doctor (gastro specialist who works with Dr. Freeman in Boston) suggested a regular routine of either Metamucil or Citrocel daily mixed with orange juice or even applesauce. But be sure to mix it with liquid BEFORE taking it as it helps it work. I suspect this receipe because of the reference to wheat bran not from a grocer but from a healthfood store - sorry wheat bran is wheat bran no matter where it comes from. Nabisco makes it and it is available at most grocers here. As far a nutritional value, you are better off with oat bran as there is evidence that it helps the heart more. Oatmeal is good for you ) but I don't like it ) bran flakes and any fiber is good for you, you should get more than 25 grams of fiber each day (which is difficult with american food tastes). Fat soluable bran (Metamucil) is considered by food experts to be better for you also. I don't remember how much the doctor recommended but it seems it was two times a day at least.
