I have two recipes that might help someone. FRUIT BAR NATURAL LAXATIVE 1 lb. pitted prunes 1 lb. pitted figs 1 lb. pitted dates 2 oz. senna tea leaves (can buy at a health food store) Mix prunes, figs, and dates together in a grinder. Slowly add senna tea leaves and mix well. Shape mixture into a log roll. May keep frozen. Start out by taking a small amount. Start with one teaspoon. Tends to taste good, so don't overdo. May increase amount if needed. POWER PUNCH 1/4 cup prune juice 1/4 cup stewed prunes 1/4 cup applesauce 1/4 cup bran cereal Mix together and take 1 oz. daily. Increase amount as needed.
