A member asked:
Is drinking prune juice and/or eating prunes effective against constipation? if so, how much needs to be consumed and how much time to be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause & severity of the constipation. There is no “dose” for prune juice, so try a cup or two and see if it works for you. It not, then book a telemedicine visit to discuss with a doctor.
