A member asked:
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?

Daily prune juice OK: Should be perfectly safe and natural. Also advise to keep well hydrated with lots of water. Eat plenty of fruit (apples with peel, strawberries, rasberries) & high fiber vegetables (Dark colored, Brussel sprouts, Swiss chard, collard greens, broccoli & also carrots. Limit dairy, especially cheese.

See below: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods.
