Constipation: 10 Foods That Help You Poop
Food #9: Prunes
Prunes, which are dried plums, are great at fighting constipation and you should consider having some in the pantry. If you are constipated, just cook some and have them in your next meal or two and you will be good to go.
Prunes are very high in fiber at about 2 grams in every 28-gram serving. Prunes also contain sorbitol, an ingredient that helps to bring water into your intestines and naturally aid your bowel movements. Prunes can also help to increase the frequency of bowel movements, as well as improve consistency. Alternatively, you can drink prune juice if you are not too fond of whole prunes.
