Do prune pills help you if you're constipated?

Answer by  SashaDarkCloud (5764)

If you want a really useful remedy, buy prune juice or water. Water will soften the stool and the prune juice will also help in releasing and softening the stool. Though I do believe the pills work work as well. If you are really really constipated you can buy something called Miralax. It really works.

Prunes and prune juice work well if you are constipated. Prunes are a natural laxitive and high in dietary fiber. Pills probably don't have the fiber but may still work.

The best way to help constipation problems is to include more fiber in your diet. Contrary to popular belief, prunes won't really do to much for you. The best help is to watch your diet.
