I looked up if prune juice can be used daily, however, I have seen things say that you can't take prune juice daily because it has a ingredient similar to laxatives, can any of you confirm this? or at least offer alternative high fiber sources?
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?)
