I was badly constipated for over a week and tried four over the counter laxative options with poor results. Today I drank a class of prune nectar (juice) and within two hours I was getting relief without much discomfort. Just make sure you're near the bathroom! Prunes are a miracle food and I plan to take some everyday from now on to maintain regularity.

After yrs of taking meds to use the restroom, if no medication I only go every 4 to 5 days. my uncle bought me a bag of prunes. I ate like 10 the 1st day and man it really worked. Not only does it work it actually keeps me with a regular bowel movement. I can eat 5 today and it will keep me going to the restroom normally for the next 3 days. Im so greatful

Also warm prune jiuce with a pat of butter. A nurse in a hospital did this for me after 4 days with no bowel movements. I went to the bathroom withing an hour

Dr. Sung,

Thank for this informative and to the point video. So many want to take 20 or 30 minutes to say what is hard to understand for laymen instead of keeping things simple.

My mom gave them to me as a child…it always worked!

[reginaphilly]

I eat about 10 prunes a day and it works. Also it helped me to raise my bone density. I have Hashimoto’s

[kadiaharrison]

[carlosflores]

[nancynutt]

Thank you. Your right. 😊happy days ahead.

[suzanmiller]

Prunes are my go to when I’m constipated and has been for eons

[LatesRocker]

Stress and prolonged bad mood makes me constipated. I had relaxing thoughts for an hour and just finished two decent bowel movements. It will be another 5 days before I am home and able to fully relieve my stress and have normal bowel movements..I drink plenty of water. I came here for education on prune juice and looking forward to the local grocery store opening so I can buy some prunes and olive oil. And until I get home drastically reduce refined foods, eat only soups, vegetables, fruits until I am finally home.

[goldelinamarfori]

Your advice for constipation is excellent. I will try this. Thanks a lot.

Talk about anxiety, hyperventilation, and behavior.

[enemanozzle]

The laxative effects in eating prunes is exclusively due to the contents of sorbitol:
- 1, 40 g sorbitol / 100 g prunes
- 6, 57 g sorbitol / 100 g dry prunes

I Love my Prune juice, it works and helps me 😊

[Neptune]

Idk why but I like the taste of prune juice, it’s bitter yet tart with just a hint of sweetness, I like it. I sometimes mix it with apple cider vinegar, my morning poops come on fast and easy with this concoction I make in the morning
