If you feel constipated, have 4-5 prunes or drink prune juice- 1/2 cup - it's helps pee also. My friend also munches on 1tablepoon of cranberries or has pure cranberry juice.

Good luck

Me too—I also recommend a banana.

I have banana everyday before bed it helps me sleep and stops food cravings at night.

Come to think of it, when I eat bananas and custard for my tea it helps too.

I also eat pro-biotic yoghurt.

I'm going to ask an indelicate question, How old are you?

You say you've been constipated, Iron tabs will do that to you.

Are you getting enough Green veggies and fruit in your diet? They can help with constipation, Also plenty of bland fluids and Exercise will keep things moving along nicely.

Cheers, Midori
