riecently (past 2 weeks) ive started to eat 3 prunes a day with breakfast as i have IBS C and things have been improving although there are a couple of days of not "going" but it has helped.

I would but creates such pressure against some kind of blockage. I need something that gets it past that point, if you know what I mean. Feels like I'm in labor :(

Prunes arent recommended on the low fod map diet however like you i found they were one of the few things that helped me when i was really constipated..However please do try some golden linseed, as i have found this really helpful and as im no longer allowed prunes on the fodmap diet its a great source of fibre with the benefit of omega 3 :) also drink 1.5-2 litres of fluid a day but avoid drinks containing fructose or apple juice.
