What do prunes taste like? Do they really help with constipation?

Question

As embarrassing as this is, I’m experiencing some awful constipation. I’m experiencing a lot of stress and I haven’t been eating right which is affecting my digestive system. It’s very difficult to pass stool. I’d like to try prunes but I’m afraid of how they may taste. I dislike dates but I really like plums. Do you think I will like them? Normally I’d eat them anyway but with first trimester morning sickness, I’m nervous to. Also would I just eat a serving size?

Answer

They taste like a big raisin. I love them.

Answer

Prunes are sweet. If you like plums, you should be fine. Only eat 2 to 3 and see the effect. No more than 5. Lol, I loved them as a kid a ate them a lot with my grandparents,  lol, again, 2 to 3 at first to see reactions! Good luck. You could also do a stool softener pill.

Answer

Dried mangos can help

Answer

I drink prune juice and it tastes good.

Answer

I used just like the dried prunes for the same issue and they definitely worked! I thought they tasted way better than I thought they would. I don’t like raisins or dates, but I did like the prunes!

Answer

I'm not sure how prunes taste or how well they work, but I can tell you that prune JUICE works just as well as a laxative. It is AWFUL, though. Like, I had to pour it in shot glasses and down it that way to avoid throwing up. 
But I know my husband said his parents gave him prunes as a kid for constipation. And he likes them, so maybe they're not that bad. But he also likes raisins, so 🤢

Answer

Prune is same as plum. Tastes good. If it is ripe. Of it is not, well then it tastes like anyy sour unripe fruit. Prune Juice for me is disgusting, but that is mw, I don't like those "thick juices" anyway, eg has a consistancy of a tomato juice or vegetable juices.

Answer

Idk what they taste like but yes prunes work. You can get some prune juice and mix it with apple juice to help with the taste. Warming it helps too. Just down it real fast if you don’t like the taste. We give this to patients with constipation all the time and it works well
