Awesome Constipation Help!

So, I know I'm not the only one who has been having some issues with going #2 this pregnancy and I wanted to share this recipe my parents gave me. My grandmother has GI issues and her doctor prescribed this concoction to help her regulate:

2 cups fine oat bran (I got mine from Wegmans: https://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10002&productId=358028 )

2 cups unsweetened apple sauce

1 cup prune juice

Mix it all together and store in a tupperware container in your fridge. Take 1-2 Tablespoons daily in the morning.

It's really easy and although I was initially kind of freaked out by the taste I really like it now. Plus, it works!

HTH!

I am totally trying this. Only 1-2 tbsp?!

Interesting, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Just curious but does prune juice taste good? I've never had it and I am tempted to get some and try it but worried that it will be gag worthy which would mean I wouldn't drink it.

Yup! I've been taking 2 because I'm so backed up (sorry for the TMI), but I've had no problem going now and it's so wonderful!

I don't mind prune juice, but I might be in the minority. The apple sauce kind of dulls the taste, too.

You know what else I've found to be effective? V-8 Vfusion. I drink a glass and go within an hour. I actually have to buy more and it tastes good.

Prune juice tastes OK but it's the aftertaste that is disgusting. It tastes very irony to me, like blood. Gross.

I just eat a few prunes a day, I think they taste better than the juice!

Indifferent Ick!

I have a thing about blood so that right there might turn me off trying it. Looks like V8 Fusion and dried fruit for me...along with everything else I'm already trying.

I may have to try this! Was hoping the doctor could tell me something good to take on Friday. I've been drinking prune juice and its nastyyyy Nd brown and has a gross sweetness. Not to mention the horrible pains that come with prune juice.
