If the prunes are the dry fruit kind, eat as much as 6, but if they are the kind that are in juice, only eat about 3 that will do it for ya, I don’t know why the dry fruit is different, it just has never worked that well for anyone I know, maybe its the juice mixed in with the others that give it that extra boost, anyway, hope everything comes out well for you.
I don’t know, "how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll". To answer who knows: however, try Benifiber, or Metamucil.Both are NOT stimulates. Also eat yogurt, Activa is the best brand. Increase fiber in more than just prunes.. What works the best is cereal, such as Bran Flakes, or Cheerios..
Sunkist sells prunes in a plastic container and each individual prune is wrapped like a piece of bubble gum and they are so darned good, I thought about passing them out as Halloween candy. These come in about 25 or 30 to a container. I get addicted to them and keep eating them like some people eat popcorn and about poop my brains out. It usually takes a couple ….maybe 4 or 5 prunes to get me going and to think….I eat them because they are fresher than in the box and really taste good. They are sweet like candy.
