A Natural Remedy for Constipation
One simple approach that can help relieve occasional constipation is prunes (dried plums). They contain both fiber and sorbitol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that can draw water into the bowel and help make stools easier to pass.
For many adults, starting with a small serving—such as 4–6 prunes (about 40–50 g)—is reasonable. Drinking enough water and maintaining regular physical activity can also support normal bowel movements.
Other fiber-rich foods, such as kiwi, pears, oats, beans, and vegetables, can be useful as part of an overall constipation-friendly diet.
If constipation is severe, keeps returning, or comes with blood in the stool, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, fever, unexplained weight loss, or inability to pass gas, seek medical advice rather than relying on a home remedy.
