My gynac mentioned prunes for the constipation but i honestly never ate them before and dont know how. Do u soak them or eat as is or make juice? Pls tell me how u have them.
Beta, in our time we used to soak dry fruits in water and eat in morning, prunes also same way. The soaked water you can drink, it helps the stomach move. But if anything feels off, do ask your gynac.
I used to soak 3-4 prunes overnight and have them in the morning, worked great for my constipation both times. Dont overdo it na, they are strong. Start with 2 and see how your body feels.
Just one thing, prunes are quite high in sugar so if you have GD like me, please check with your doctor about quantity. I was told to limit to 1-2 and pair with some nuts. Otherwise they are good for digestion.
I just started eating them for the same reason, was a bit scared if too many is bad. Good to read 2-3 is fine. Did anyone get loose motions from eating extra?
