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.
Beetroot is well known stool softener, in liquid and solid form. To keep regular, one should consume beetroot salad or soup once or twice a week.
