I brought some prunes today do you the they will help with constipation?

...

Figgy N Pluto	Don't eat to many to start with they are likely to go straight through you, but as your body gets use to them you will probably be able to eat more they are fabulously good for you

Irene	yup it'll definitely help and if it doesnt just drink milk Of Magnesia do not eat bananas cause it'll just make it worst

Angel	Hi they are known to, but in some bad cases they dont. I find if i drink loads of diet coke then ill beable to go in a matter of minutes. As it causes laxative effect if you drink a few glasses. My dad was suffereing for days with it, he even go some Senokot which is mainly full of prunes and wat not. But this didnt work, So i told him my method, just have a few glasses of diet coke, and believe it or not it worked like i said it would. Its worth giving it a try. Just dont drink too much or you will wont beable to get of the loo. About 3 250ml glasses should do. Chewing gum helps also anything sugar free.

Nutty Girl	yes they will ,they are excellent for constipation

IAINTELLEN	Yup!

Sarah W	sure will. good luck.

Barking mad	Certainly, shame they will not help you to compose a sentence though.

Ta lusa	DEFINATELY

green eyes	yes, but prune juice will probably be quicker..

vickiangel	yep, eat them all n watch the effect lol

SHEBA	yes

Nurcee	they should, but if you want some more immediate 'relief' try slightly warmed (NOT hot) prune juice. The warming directly stimulates the peristalsis effect.

amber_xx66	They most certainly will,so be careful how many you eat!!!

sookie1969	YUP!

StarShine G	yes but don't eat too many at a time , you will have the Hershey squirts. bran is good ,apples. oatmeal.

janine s	of course these will help.But what is your normal diet like? Do you eat bread with lots of seeds in it,weetabix,drink water.Are you under stress..all this can have an effect on your body..and everyone is different..i get constipated when i am pregnant..or buiscuits..or just before a period..so i eat plenty of high fibre food..like finely chopped savoy Cabbage,mix bran flakes with corn flakes...visit a herbal health shop too..and see what advice you can get there too. constipation also can cause "piles"..so do not push too hard...all the reason to vary your fruit and veg.

Mr. X.	Yes they will!!!

arwen	yes stew them up taste like crap but they do the job lol drink plenty of water as well.

Norm	Sure will, have them with custard yum yum. try the prune juice as well it is nice to

Lottie	Yes, they are great for that. Prune juice is also effective and also good to drink (an acquired taste for some).

TiM	Yes. Olive oil works well too without explosive results.

Jane C	Yes, they are sure to work!

Cornsilk P	Absolutely!

linloue	Yes but a complete change of diet and exercise may be the long term answer.

DJ	They work really well. Carry some wet wipes in the little travel packs. You will need them!

csoj@btinternet.com	Yes but stay close to the LOO!

bmac	It will help, but you have to eat an awful lot of them. The better thing to do (especially if you like prunes) is to get prune juice. Put a cup in the microwave and heat it up. Good and hot. Drink it as quickly as you can stand it. I am telling you it REALLY works! Mom was right!

thumberlina	they are meant to eat bananas and all bran as well

ideratherbefishin	Yes, they help...to the person that said eat banana's...please don't just make stuff up...banana's are binding and the exact opposite of what this person wants.

chicpower	Oh absolutely! FYI- if you're eating dried prunes put the in the fridge, they are actually quite yummy that way! I wouldn't suggest eating more than 4 though. LOL!
