Help Re: Constipation - Need Recipe!

Hello ya'll! I'm at work right now and could use some help. I have a pt who has not had a "good" BM in about a week. I remember reading on here someone's recipe for something to help with that. If I recall it has prune juice and sprite and soemthing else in it. Does anybody know what it is? 'Cause I think it would be really helpful to my pt. thanks!

    Dr Pepper at room temperature. It is actually carbonated prune juice. I've used this one for years. A Dr suggested this. Also, for the opposite, diarhhea, drink liquid jello. The jello solidify's in the intestines, its always worked for my family.

    Good tips, thanks dudes. I tried to do a search on this, but I was at work and didn't have time to comb through all the results - but get this, my manager was looking at this with me! I was sure I would get busted for using the computer, but when she saw I was using it for a pt, she was very interested, lol! Tried the warm 7-up (we only have sierra mist...six of one, right?) and prune juice combo, but it didn't work. Maybe it wasn't warm enough? Anyway I gave her some MOM and she was waiting for results when I left...

    That is an urban legend. Dr. Pepper has never been made of, or contained prune juice. Here is the snopes page link to read about it if you wish.
