If you have constipation dominant IBS, prunes are great. But I have

found that I can only eat them for 2-3 days straight. However,

if you eat fresh vegetables (steamed or stir fried) and also

juice (I mainly do carrots w/ 1/2 apple), you can rotate these

and only the worst digestive systems would still be constipated.

The key is having the discipline to do it. Also, all these things

are good for you anyway although in general you need a balanced

diet w/ protein and fats.
