Amazake as a Laxative?/下剤として甘酒を？

My mother suffers from constipation. She says that the laxative prescribed by the hospital does not work. Cold milk does not work, either.

The other day, my father got a bag of sake kasu (lees) from the supermarket. My mother drank a glass of the hot amazake that I made from the sake kasu, and reported that it worked like a charm.

母は便秘です。病院で処方された下剤は効かず、冷たい牛乳も効かないそうです。

先日、父がスーパーで酒粕を買いました。母もこの酒粕で作った温かい甘酒を一杯飲んで、それが嘘のように効いたそうです。

Sake kasu produced by Hakkaisan (a sake brewery located in my city, Minami-Uonuma!)

八海山（私の住む市、南魚沼市にある酒蔵）の酒粕 

Just put some sake kasu in a pot, add some water, and mix with a whisk while heating.
酒粕を鍋に入れ、水を入れ、加熱しながら、泡立て器で混ぜます。

Add the desired amount of sugar.
砂糖を好きなだけ入れます。

I hope the amazake keeps working for her!
甘酒が効き続けるといいのですが。
