Beta soaked prunes are a nice gentle thing for the stomach, my own mother used to say so. Take a few, dont overdo. For anything serious always ask doctor first.

Indu Rathore · Answer

They are safe generally but they are quite sweet, so i was careful since i had sugar issues. If u have GD just watch the quantity and check with ur doctor about portions.
