Prune juice question.

jkoultonjkoulton member
in 1st Trimester

What did it taste like? I've eaten dried prunes and am not particularly in love but they don't make me gag.

It just sounds like something that would make me squeamish. so before I buy it (for constipation) did you like it?

    I mix prune juice with apple juice and that helps a whole lot.

    Ok, so I may be in the minority, but I actually enjoy the taste of prune juice.  Maybe because I used to drink it as a kid when I was constipated.  But, I agree, if you dont like it, mix it with apple juice and it will taste better.

    Tried it for constipation a few weeks ago and it came right back up.

    Gerber makes a prune/apple juice that I give my son when necessary. Maybe try that?

    It tastes like drinking raisins!  It's not awful, but it's not a sipping drink either.  i usually try to do it in one large chug if i can (kind of like my metamucil routine).  It does seem to help along with metamucil.  However if you're backed up be warned that it may cause lots of potent gas.  i had to apologize to my husband a dozen times the other night when i took a dose.

    I was wary, but found that chilling it before I drank the first cup helped. It's like pp said, it tastes like drinking raisins. A little sweet, but a little thicker than normal juice. I couldn't chug it, but I didn't think it was gag-worthy. Really helped the week I was super constipated. I drank 8oz per day for about 3 days straight and then got some relief. So don't expect immediate results. Ditto the warning on the gas though!

    I heat it up in the microwave and drink it like tea. I can't handle it cold, and prunes make me gag (so do raisins). It isn't my favorite thing to drink, but it is super effective.
