Constipated?

Lovely subject, isn't it?

Anyone who has chemo is likely to be
familiar with constipation or diarrhea.
It seems to be a common side effect
from the treatment.   Also some
medications create that problem.

I was given a recipe for something
that is supposed to be good for
constipation, and I thought I would
share.

Where I am being treated is helpful
in so many ways, and I know it isn't
the case in all situations, and maybe
someone could use this info. 

Of course, it isn't just for those who
are having chemo, so if you're ever
"stuck" for an option, you may want
to consider the following.

(Sorry; I know bad joke...but couldn't resist!)

1/2c. prunes
1/2c. figs
1/2c. raisins
4 oz senna tea (Smooth Move Tea works)
1T. brown sugar
1c. lemon juice

Prepare the tea, and steep 5 minutes.
Pour into large pot, and add the fruits.
Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat,
and add lemon juice and sugar.
Blend into a smooth paste.
Put in the freezer. It can remain there indefinitely.

Serve on a cracker.
Eat directly off a spoon.
Mix in hot water for a hot drink.

Suggested 1T-2T per day.
If it isn't working, use more.
If it is working too well, use less.
