I had the feeling I couldn’t poop for some reason for two days, I also had some sickness from being exposed to too much AC (the doctor said), the doctor gave me medicine against the other stuff which works wonderfully. But my stomach hurt a lot so I ordered a 1 liter bottle of prune juice because I heard it helps against constipation.

Once it arrived I drank the whole bottle at once just to be sure, because I heard it’s a natural mild laxative and my stomach hurt so much.

And it worked very well, after 2 hours I was running to the toilet and getting rid of whatever was stuck in there. It worked very well, my stomach stopped hurting after one more hour, wonderful!

But I didn’t need to drink the whole bottle, I’m stuck on the toilet the whole afternoon now because as soon as I get out, 2 minutes later I need to run back in, so it’s just easier to stay on it.

I think like a cup or two might have been enough.

    I did the exact same thing, long ago. I saw it only had like 2g fiber per 4oz serving, so I drank a quart. Spent 8 hours on the toilet, my roommate was bringing me Gatorade and laughing at my tears.

    You know those funny reviews of sugar free gummy bears that like, ruined people’s day/lives/grounded planes after a bag was shared among passengers and then shat their literal souls out until they begged for mercy that did not come? ( https://www.amazon.com/review/RZFIYJTPVUZ94 )

    Yeah, that’s because of sorbitol, the artificial sugar/laxative that is naturally occurring in high doses in prunes.
