Prunes/prune juice can be a helpful addition to maintain regularity and prevent constipation. Start with 2 prunes/ 4 oz prune juice in the morning and increase the amount daily until you have a soft stool. If watery stool, reduce the dosage. It can take 1-5 days. Suggest followup with a primary care doctor. You can choose your doctor on HealthTap for ongoing virtual care.
