@Eleanor Yeah I read a slightly different version of this recipe on Reddit too. IIRC, a nurse had posted that they use prune juice + butter + salt for colon screening patients to clean out their gut before colonoscopy. So it's medical grade solution. Hehe
It is not a medical grade solution! I've had numerous colonoscopies and used something like it once and was still dirty when they scoped me. I don't care one iota what someone on Reddit said. You do what you want.
I'm just expressing what I know worked for someone (me) who has history of colon cancer in family, has had polyps removed, has had gut literally split in half and had to wear a poop bag for 6 months, then, resected. When you put lots of pressure on the bowel to move on a consistent basis, if you have an unknown weakness, it could cause you to go through much the same as I did. This isn't accounting for the runny mess after taking stool softeners, etc. that moves through those perforations.
Grain allergies, lactose intolerance; there's a whole host of food/drink and drugs that can cause perforations in the bowel that you don't know you have. You are literally taking your life in your hands and alleged Reddit nurse does NOT have the answer.
