Question 4

Why is it that everytime i drink prune juice for constipation  i have to run to the bathroom with horrible painful diarreah and gas?

Accepted Answer

Prune naturally contains sorbitol which has  a mild laxative action. Prunes also contain large amounts of phenolic compounds (e.g. Neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids), which are also though to have laxative properties. Once the cause of your constipation is diagnosed, a non-osmotic laxative may work better for you. Or simply eat a prune or two.

Question 6

I have trouble with my bowel and at times get constipated. will drinking prune juice help and of so how often?

Accepted Answer

Make sure you have at least 5-7 servings of cooked vegetables, and also some fruit to increase your ruffle in your diet. Processed foods can lead to constipation. Prune juice can help, but get to the cause and address it. Also make sure you drink enough liquids and exercise. These will help you have regular BM. Avoid sugary & diet drinks, desserts, fast/fried foods too. Eat whole organic foods.

Question 7

I had a tonsil/adenoidectomy yesterday. taking my lortab as prescribed, but i'm really constipated from it. can i drink prune juice to help?

Accepted Answer

But the Narcotic may be causing the constipation, you may want to decrease the amount or frequency of usage.

Question 8

Constipated for 2 wks. i took miralax & colace for 3 days, but neither helped.  i've been drinking prune juice & eating high fiber foods.  i've gone a little, but i'm still constipated. my k level is 3.2. what can i do at this point? (best options?)

Accepted Answer

At this point I suggest that you try a Fleet's enema which you can buy at the pharmacy. Continue the miralax (polyethylene glycol) nightly.  The colace is not likely to help much but adding a fiber supplement, walking daily for at least 30 minutes and drinking at least 3 liters of water daily could also help.  If this does not work then you may need to see a doctor for a medical intervention.

Question 9

My bowel movements are very weak right now. i sometimes have to drink prune juice or something to help me poop. am i constipated?

Accepted Answer

Hard, dry ; difficult to pass - you are likely constipated. It is important to try not to get hemorrhoids in the first place. Stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in. Stay physically active.

Question 10

I'm taking norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 10/325 as prescribed really constipated. taking colace 100mg. can i drink prune juice does it contain peanuts in it. allergic to them?

Accepted Answer

I would be doubtful that peanuts would be added to prune juice.  I checked the ingredients list from several different companies that make prune juice and none of them contained peanuts.
