1. Prunes
Prunes and prune juice are very popular and delicious remedies to chronic constipation and should be incorporated to your balanced diet in order for you to enjoy a good sense of well-being.
Studies have shown that prunes contain a natural laxative called sorbitol, a type of sugar alcohol that increases bowel movement frequency. However, since prunes are one of the foods listed as high in fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharide polyols (FODMAP), people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) should try to stay away from them.
