Prune Juice

*Willis* · January 2010

So I've been backed up like the Hoover Dam. Seriously, it's been days and when I can go, it's not anywhere near the necessary amount. I've upped my water intake, ate kashi cereal for breakfast, nada. So I broked down and bought prune juice last night (well, I made DH go out to buy it, but same difference).

Yesterday I had a bowl of Kashi cereal for breakfast, 8 oz prune juice last night, 8 oz prune juice with lunch.

And, nothing. Nada.

How much of this stuff should I be drinking? It's nasty.

Do you drink coffee? Or decaf lattes? Coffee always does the trick.

Also, try dried apricots.

Or Colace.

Prune juice is f'ing gross!

The ONLY thing that I found helpful last cycle was coffee. I ate prunes, grapefruit, drank tons of water and nothing. It was quite painful too. I'm hoping it doesn't happen again.

Apple Juice tends to be good as well, or cider but that's kinda out of season. However, once I drank an entire jug of apple juice in like a 4 hr period.

I like those fiber one bars and yogurts. They really help keep things moving.

I have a cup or two of coffee in the morning.

In the past, Colace has done nothing.

I'm getting worried I might explode.

I had to drink 2 big glasses of prune juice to get the first one going.

After that I just drank a smaller glass every day and it seemed to work.

Good luck! ::BMdust::

I do shots of prune juice. I do about 5 at a time out of my vegas shot glass. :-) Seems to work well. Colace made my heart race, so I am not a fan of it for me, but I know its super safe to take while ttc.
