When you gotta go but can’t, you will do anything to help. One of the old wives tales about pooping is that you should eat prunes. But does this work or is a just a trick your grandma played on you to make you eat more fruit?
In today’s video we are going to discuss why prunes and other dried fruit help you poop. It’s a natural and healthy tool that can help you take the “kids to the pool.”
Have you been to pelvic floor PT before? Any tips you would like to share? Comment down below!

The laxative effects in eating prunes is exclusively due to the contents of sorbitol: - 1,40 g sorbitol / 100 g prunes - 6,57 g sorbitol / 100 g dry prunes

I love Prunes. The best thing to use for constipation instead of laxatives. If you put them with a little sprinkle of water in the microwave for 10/15 seconds they get warm and soft. So much better than trying to eat hard wrinkled up prunes. I love them.

My secret trick is peanut butter with prunes. It’s like a PBJ bite sized sandwich!

I have opioid endued constipation from a surgery, a year ago. I haven't pooped regular since. Three expensive drugs that had zero effect, proper hydration and diet. I poop in fragments only with a mixture of warm prune juice and milk of magnesia, then with irregularity.

I chewed about ten sticks of sugarless gum and it had me running to the rest room about 4 times. I checked the label and sure enough it contained sorbitol

My son when he was a baby the dr told me to give him prune juice. He loved it but it never made him go. I gave him apple juice and that did it.

Yes...good point re diabetics!! Got to be very careful re the sugar levels involved here, so, maybe only a few prunes [like 2-6] per day would possibly do the trick, without causing extra stress [like boosting sugar levels?!].! Maybe try a few prunes along with an oil [castor oil!] for good results?!

You could be right! I don’t know enough about castor oil to make a video on it at this time but I know people love it and it has some great benefits

Are prunes as good for constipation as beet juice?
@WellnessInThePelvis
@WellnessInThePelvis Жыл бұрын
Should be about the same I would imaging since beets have such a high sugar content. I haven’t researched this though to know for sure

@@WellnessInThePelvis Perfect timing, as I almost had whole beet juice this morning. I have a fat bunch of them with the greens still intact from the farmer's market last weekend, but I juiced celery juice with my juicer the other day and failed to clean the juicer out. So instead I peed into a plastic bottle when I woke up and drank that instead just a couple of minutes ago. I used to have three cups of urine a day for nearly a year, but that was in a drink mixed with many other things I would have after every meal through a straw. This is the first time I "dialed direct"...maybe one and a half cup's worth. Kinda disgusting, and kinda feels like it wants to come back up now. I've also been doing urine retention enemas quite a bit lately, so we'll have to see wherever all of this goes. Thanks for getting back!
