Constipated??? Try this!

Okay, Prunes!! I am dealing with ulcer issues too, I think, but not sure....same problems as the other girl who has ulcer problems Okay, I was major constipated, that is what I thought was causing my pain, and a lady on the SC board, where I used to live, told me to get SUNSWEET dried prunes. I found them, orange essense flavored, all natural, and they are YUMMY!! Like candy!! all natural and you won't dump on them, but you will poop everyday like clockwork if you eat about 4-6 per day. Usually at night, then every morning, BINGO! YUMMY and good for you too! Sorry, I always forget about this board to post! Deb

Hi Deb- I read your response to my ulcer problem posting.. It never occurred again after that- and I was very careful and I immediately began taking 2 nexxium a day. Had it reoccurred I would have done the CAT scan.. and I read that you took steroids- celebrex- and I will bet you- that the celebrex (my case-advil) caused these problems.. I just knew from prev experience- that when food was entering the pouch- it was my ulcer. But THAT event- i was doubled over- I think - because of the viniagrette dressing in my salad- so either the dressing or the salad aggravated my ulcer- and I did not have salad again for a full week- and all is good now.. Are you taking iron pills? I do- and the doc says- you need softener with iron- because it def backs you up. SO ANYONE with IRON pills- take softeners. The prunes are a great idea. I find eating fruit or drinking water with lemon juice first thing in the morning also works. SO I HOPE you are feeling better!! I am back exercising and selling jewelry!! Hugs. Donna
