Re: Prune/Orange juice mix

[Guest guest]

Let me get this straight. Boiled down prune juice is prune nectar? Mix 3

teaspoon in 1/2 cup of orange juice? Does it have to be orange juice or can the

prune be mixed into the legal grape juice??? Sorry if this has been answered in

prior posts! Patti

Hi Patti,

I don't know if boiled down prune juice is the same as prune

nectar, but it substitutes for the nectar which must be of greater

concentration than regular unboiled prune juice. According to

Elaine's constipation protocol, it's 3 TBS per 1/2 cup of Tropicana

orange juice. As for putting it in other juices, I don't see why

not, but I'm NOT the SCD expert. All I can think that could be a

detractor is that the boiled down prune juice would have a very

strong taste and the grape juice may not be strong enough to mask

the taste. I'm not sure and hopefully one of the experts will know

more. Take care. Becky in Chesapeake, VA with 10 yr old on SCD 3

The prune nectar can be made by boiling prune juice down to

half it's original volume. One cup prune juice would be boiled

down to 1/2 cup prune juice.

I believe it is mixed with orange juice for a reason. Some

synergistic effect, but I will ask Elaine to find out whether it can

be mixed with other juices and be as effective.

The boiled down prune juice gets really thick but it does not taste bad when

mixed with the OJ. I heat it up and drink it warm and I actually LIKE it! And

it really does help.

As long as you're only using the epsom salts occasionally... that shouldn't be

an ongoing thing, I don't think.

Hi Patti G.,

Thanks for the thanks, I'm glad it helped your child. And yes, we

only used epsom salts the first week and haven't used it since

then. I also heard that the epsom salts can be habit forming so I

didn't want to use it initially. We were so desperate to get his

stools moving that we went ahead and tried the epsom salts which did

clear him out and help him get through the intro diet without the

OJ/Prune juice. I wouldn't do the intro diet again without the

OJ/Prune juice combo, but that's my personal opinion based on my

son's condition. Take care, Becky in Chesapeake, VA with 10 yr old
