Kaolin and morphing

Do you mean morphine or has it changed into something else?

I mourn it's passing, used to carry a small bottle atound with me when I worked at childrens hospital.

Have you tried Boots?

Apparently boots sell it

I'm amazed it hasn't been banned!!

What about Diarolyte? It comes in sachets and, if you get ill, will re-hydrate you.

BBbevan grin] naughty!

Yes BBbevan go and sit in Pedants corner ?

Can I but morphine? at Boots?

I remember my Mum giving me, and indeed my Siblings Kaolin and Morphine when we had tummy upsets, and it worked. It certainly calmed the painful spasms, as indeed it would have, due to the morphine. There was also another product that was equally as good that came in a small bottle which I think was called 'Collis Brown tincture'. You added a certain amount of drops to a small glass of hot water.
I believe that this was withdrawn after many years because that too contained Morphine, but again, it worked.
Years ago, I saw a young man go into a Chemist and ask for Kaolin and Morphine. The Chemist who served him shook the bottle hard to mix the contents as they separated after standing a while. When I asked why he did this, he explained that drug addicts liked to drink the Morphine which floated to the top, therefore it would not be possible to drink it until the contents had settled again, which would take quite a while.

I remember Kaolin and Morphine and Collis Brown tincture - both very effective for upset tummies and a must in the medicine cabinet.

That cracked me up!

I remember buying this 4 years ago (morning after AC 21st) pink gluppy and in a triangular shaped bottle, in local Lloyds pharmacy.

I order mine from Chemist Direct. You can only buy one bottle at a time because of the morphine content.

If you are travelling abroad it might be an idea to take the medicine in the original packaging, just in case you are stopped. I wouldn’t try to take it through Dubai airport.

I didn't know you could still get this. My MiL always had a bottle and would dose me up when I felt sick (which I often did back then) she also gave it to my children. Subsequently I used to keep a bottle in the cupboard. It was good stuff.

I also used to keep a bottle, on standby, then when I wanted to replace it, I had to sign when the chemist handed it over. This was a long time ago, and I was interested on reading the postings, that it is still available .

I am not sure you will be able to take it abroad without a letter from your doctor because of the morphine.

I was tempted to provide a link but thought better of it.
However, I do keep humming the theme tune

I wouldn't try to take it to Egypt, given what happened to that woman who tried taking tramadol in.

I remember both of these. Collis Brown tasted better!

Milk of Magnesia was the one in our medicine cupboard when I was a child; it came in a blue bottle.
I can still remember that chalky taste (ugh)

I'm wondering if you can get a kaolin mixture without the morphine? I did try tracking it down a while ago, but without success. Sometimes, you just need the calming effect of the kaolin without the pain relief.

Arrowroot is brilliant for upset tummies mix it with a little water and spoon it (not as nice as wine but manageable)

It was certainly available about 20 years ago, when I last bought it, very effective for an upset tum.
