As for a, "Boo Ball" 'type' recipe (not referring her to the original that you can find posted on the board), a number of members grind up HHB or other block diets adding organic virgin coconut oil (found in rat research to support the absorption of calcium into the bones), and other ingredients which may vary from recipe to recipe. Some also include a small amount of oatmeal (not instant), which contains 'Beta Glucan', that soothes the wall of the intestines. This, along with the healthy fiber the oats provide, lends support to the healthly function of the bowel.
