Prune Juice

I've never tried prune juice, but I drink a little grape juice each day to try to avoid blockages. However, I am having trouble with very slow bowels in my j-pouch. I've had my j-pouch about 20 years and have a lot of pain so I am on pain medicine and antibiotics which I think causes my slow digestion. Does prune juice help with this issue? And if so how much of it do you drink each day? Thank you

Hazel, I do drink prune juice when I feel as though I am trying to hard to go. Works like a charm doesn't it?

Teresa, prune juice has a bit less sugar than grape juice. I only drink about 4 to 6 ozs., but I don't drink it everyday, only when I feel things are getting slow.

Hazel, thank you for your reply! I will give the prune juice a try.

When I feel like a need with some help in going to the bathroom and as you all know sometimes trips can last for hours that’s when I’ll take about 6 oz.  It has not failed me yet.  Within 1 hour I’m going to the bathroom - yes it can be very loose but it will be over after only a few trips to the bathroom.

Thanks!
