"Power pudding": natural laxative therapy for the elderly who are homebound.
"Power Pudding" is a natural laxative recipe for relieving and preventing constipation. Its ingredients are nutritious and inexpensive. A small study conducted at a home care agency in northern Virginia demonstrated the effectiveness of "Power Pudding" with several elderly clients who were homebound. As a nursing intervention, it has good potential for improving bowel function in the elderly home care population.
