My mother is 95 years old and she is lucky to weigh 100 pounds. She also eata one or two prunes each day. I think she does this so she does not put on any weight and more probably wants to continue to loose weight. My question is that should my mother be eating prunes at all or do it on a less frequent basis?
This is really a nice post! thumbs up for you!
Perry you mother is doing an excellent aproah not to loose weight but eating 1-2prunes a day is heathly choice. Prune is a natural fruit just oranges and you can eat them everyday without any problem!!
I have a severe flatulence problem and it was diagnosed as being caused by a clogged colon. After an enema or laxative, the flatulence disappears. How many prunes per day would help this problem?
George,
I would eat about 10-12 prunes per day, but first soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes; this makes easier digestibility and also tastes better.
This should clear up your flatulence problem by having more bowel movements and cleaning out waste material stuck in your colon. Think of it as good irrigation through the plumbing. Take care.

1/4 cup of prunes and 3 cups of coffee in the the am is my breakfast and I luv it! I have loads of energy for 41!!
Well Written!nice piece of work with lot of useful information...it helps thank
I'm prone to sugar. Trying to lose weight by staying away from sugar. Will eating prunes affect me in a bad way?
prunes help me in my regular diet. especially for those people suffering constipation. thanks for the informations!
I have been drinking a glass of prune juice almost every morning with breakfast. Aside from the laxative side affect, does a daily dose of prune juice likely to cause any long term gastrointestinal distress?
I take a handful of those individually wrapped prunes with me every morning before leaving for work. Throughout the day whenever I feel a little hungry, I'll eat a prune. This keeps me from going to the vending machine and getting a bag of chips. Making this healthier choice has helped me lose 6 pounds in the past month!
I am in my late twenties and I like the taste of prunes. My husband thinks it is very unattractive that I eat them. I explained the positive health effects to him!
I am diagnosed with colitis (persistent inflammation of the colon) a few years ago - and told I'll have it for life. I like to eat foods that my doctor suggests I limit. Prunes help me manage this, and improves my life. I like their taste and they curb my appetite too, especially for sweets. Very nutritional. Always have them in my house!
Very informative article. Keep up the great work.
