Slippery Elm syrup
Put 1/2 cup of cool purified water into a glass or stainless steel saucepan. Add one slightly rounded teaspoon of slippery elm powder (or you can open and empty the contents of 5 capsules into the pan). Whisk with a fork until the powder blends with the water. Note: Always blend it in the cold water first. If you add the powder to warm or hot water it will be lumpy.
Bring the ingredients to a simmer over a low flame, stir constantly. Simmer about two minutes or until it slightly thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Cool the mixture then refrigerate in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. With proper storage the syrup will remain fresh for 7 or 8 days.
Even if you just add the dry powder mixed to an animals soft food it can help soothe the digestive system.
Dose: 1 teaspoon slippery elm syrup given before each meal.

Awesome! I bookmarked it so I won't lose it again...I hope! What is the dose for the dry powder in food? I don't really have a glass jar to keep it in atm, nor do I have purified water. Though I imagine bottled water would work. haha
