I have to try that. Next time I'll just get out the bottle of Senekot and

" threaten " to take some. That way I'll never need to buy it again. LOL.

Sauerkraut btw is very low in calories and would be a great CRONIE food if

not for all the salt. I rinse it in cold water (in a colander) before

eating it and that removes a lot of the salt used in curing it.

Years ago, I had more than a year long bout of very bad constipation.

Doctors, supplements, foods, laxatives. No success. I had begun to

play with soup recipes and once included cabbage and beans. It wasn't

even a lot, but apparently therein lied the magic. Subsequent

experiments taught me that the cabbage must be cooked and the water with

the cooking was an important part of the magic. I ate it a few times

within a couple of months... amazingly, the constipation never returned.

I always wondered if that combo corrected an internal environment that

was off kilter. Anyway, your sauerkraut story reminded me, & I'm glad

that worked for you.
