so how bad is prune juice?

meg07bride

i am so constipated and have already tried eating fruits and veggies, raisan bran, drinking lots of water and taking colace. i bought a bottle of prune juice to try next. never had it before and i'm a little nervous about trying it. does it taste horrible? am i going to gag? yuck. besides being uncomfortable, the constipation is totally ruining my sex life!

I thought it was pretty bad.  Try mixing it with grape juice...that sorta helps.

I myself, really don't mind the taste of prune juice, I have to give it to my daughter regularly, she gets constipated easily, and I mix hers with a little apple juice, she really enjoys it.

thanks...i may run to the store and get some. my pg book recommended mixing it with sparkling water, but that sounds totally gross to me.

 mix it with apple juice... that so saved me when I had to drink it.

you could just go get either a big mac from mcdonalds or some chinese food...these two work for me EVERY time.

also, i had this issue the other week, and I ended up eating some bread, dipping it in a meditaranian seasoning mix and olive oil, i ended up using quiet a bit of oil and it helped!!

Every time I decie to force some down I'm suprised all over again at how gross it is.  GL - hope it helps you.

I'm a little late on this one, but whenever I have to take the prune juice route, we honestly make it a drinking game with prune juice shots for me. it mostly works because I am horrible at poker!

I mix mine with cherry juice, it helps a little. I just can't get over the consistency.  And the color. *yuck*

i had to take prune juice early in my pregnancy because of the constipation - i thought it was awful.  i did the shot thing too - helped me get it down

Try mixing it with some sprite or 7-up.  that helps a little.

I have also had terrible constipation. I found that a Jamba Juice with the flax and fiber supplement cleans me out. On top of which, it tastes 10 times better than prune juice. If a smoothy is not available in your area- you can always go the dried fruit route (dried: aprcots, pears, apples, bannanas, etc.) I don't drink it anylonger- but coffee used to do the same for me.

 Good luck!

Try Plumsmart plum juice it tastes way better like fruit juice and since its plums it does the same exact thing!! works great!

Try and mix it w/ something less sweet like cranberry juice. The prune juice is too sweet and syrupy as it is.
