3. Prunes
Prunes are one of the most powerful options if you want to relieve your constipation. That’s because they are high in fiber, which means they’ll help to break up the stool and push it through.
Fiber literally travels through the bowels in the form you found it, meaning that it can act like tiny bullets and shoot through the unwanted barricade!
More importantly though, it also contains sorbitol. Now sorbitol is a substance that actively draws in water and absorbs it. So if prunes make their way into your colon, they’ll then encourage the stool to absorb more fluids and thereby become better lubricated and more likely to pass through your body.
