The availability in the "lower 48" might be limited, but I'd guess that the guava juice (available canned) would do the same. I found out (about the laxative characteristics) on a trip to Hawaii a few years ago when we found a guava orchard and picked some to eat. It was very interesting! :-) Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
