Prune juice - a warning.

[8Ace]

Just be careful, OK?

After a few days with little to show for it, poo wise, I was feeling a bit grotty and to my great alarm, my trousers no longer required a belt. It was time to act.

About 8pm today I drank about a pint of prune juice. Not knowing how strong it was I expected relief in the morning. What actually happened was an hour of agonising cramps, a turd that looks like a fking submarine and I am now on a 20 second warning for a visit that makes me worry if I still have my kidneys.

I have work in the morning and I daren't go to bed.

All night chemist - Immodium.

My step-mother once found out the hard way that homemade rhubarb wine has a similar effect to your prune juice (if you drink a bottle of it). I think the word is 'copious'.

Two hours and 50 minutes from drinking to hellish bowel eruption? That's some laxative effect.

Don't sleep in the nude if you're normally that way inclined. Might end up having to change bedsheets!

Indeed. Surprised me too. Hence the warning, I'm all heart, me.

Sorry OP.

You do have my sympathy...

But that description nearly made me st the bed with laughter!

Might as well keep stting then, get it all flushed out before work.

Voice of experience?

A friend of mine once gave a large box of raisins to his 18 month old niece while he was baby sitting.

Never seen so much st come out of something so small!

Luckily the romper she was in had elasticated cuffs other wise it would have been even messier!

I hate to have to lower the jovial tone of this thread. One of my clients who was having chemotherapy for bowel cancer ended up doing it.

from Wikipedia:

.....Prunes and prune juice are thus common home remedies for constipation, however at least one review (by the EFSA) could not find sufficient reliable evidence to either confirm or refute the efficacy of this remedy.[3] Prunes also have a high antioxidant content.

care to edit the article OP

Oh, and re: the earlier post about Wikipedia, my mind is made up, an accelerant par excellence.

First thing I thought of when reading the title

Also beetroot juice...I would say has an even stronger and quicker effect.

Get the Beet-it™ shots....two/three of them and away you go.

God help me then,if I have a coffe in the morning guaranteed I'll need a crap shortly after.i don't mind but one job had no bog and I had to use a bucket,envy when the builder does the garden,I left it behind some rubbish

I once greedily ate about 2kg d Plumbs after a visit to a fruit farm, might have been more! The next day started out quite ordiarily but gradually I strted getting cramps until eventually the flood gates opened. The sound was like a load of bats leaving a rain forrest cave at sundown. I was so glad I hadn't swallowed the stones too.

Coffee then a smoke at 10:15am = awesome pooh at 10:30am

Regular as clockwork.

Reminds me of the "Prune Smoothie" moment in Family Guy.
