Constipation Remedy

Published

HELP!!!!! I used to have a home remedy for opiod induced constipation. I remember the igredients were MOM 7up molasses prune juice and I can't remember the rest. Does someone kknow this recipe? I originally got this from a hospice nurse some time ago and I have lost it. My current patient sure could use it right now. Thanks

This post was waaay before my start here, but just LOVE it.

We called it 'POOP JUICE".

Prune juice, appplesace and bran. Dietary would send up a big canister, premixed. Every nite on NOCs, I would set up a lunchroom tray full of 30 cc plastic med cups that I dipped out the 'poop juice' into. Day nurses would get the tray out of the med room refrig and quick start rounds with breakfast meals.

On the rare occasion I would have to make my own blend for them.

The stuff worked!

Never had a problem with constipation for our residents there.

No sentinel event for us!

I called my version the Hot Slider. Six ounces of prune juice mixed with 30 ml of MOM and two pats butter, stir and zap in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir it again and give it to the patient. Works like a charm.
