Well, I feel that I can start back to doing my P&B shakes. I mistakingly started doing the shakes while I was already semi-constipated. Even though I drank a lot of water, I was still constipated. So, after a couple of days of having difficulty with my BMs, I took the plunge and bought a bag of prune without sorbate. Worked like a charm!!! I did not want to use a chemical to stop my constipation, so I opted for a healthy alternative. I will then start back to using psyllium and lots of water and then starting the P&B shakes when I am more regular. How does that sound?

MoreThis is a reply to # 418,026That sounds like a great plan, SC! Glad you are not all backed up...that can't be fun!
Oddly enough, your post got me curious. What do prunes actually taste like?! I have never, ever eaten a prune...are they sweet? They look like they would taste horribly, which is mainly why I have never eaten one...but if you, or anyone else, can describe what they taste like, I'd appreciate it!
And your plan sounds like a good one...get un-backed up and ease into the shakes. Did I read a post of your where you thought you had an allergy to the clay? Maybe I'm mixing up your post with someone else's, but if that was you, we never heard back on what comprised the reaction...would love to know for future reference...
Congrats again...!

This is a reply to # 418,027Hi snoopychick,
Wow, that't great! What a good idea.
And GMS, prunes are delicious. I just happenned to buy some yesterday and am having them for breakfast with my oatmeat this morning. I always reconsitute mine by pouring a small amount of boiling water over them the night before. Then in the morning they are soft. They are much sweeter than plums, like raisins are sweeter than grapes. The flavor is hard to describe, but mostly sweet. I don't know how many you have to eat for constipation cause that's one problem I don't have, but they are so sweet that 4-5 is tastewise more than enough.
Snoopychick, how many do you eat at a time?

Are you enjoying being back in Texas? If you remember, I'm originally from the Chicago area, and moved to Dallas a couple years ago. Now my husband might get transferred to San Antonio. Should I be happy about this???? I've never been there.
About prunes...alone, they kind of taste like a big raisin, but...well...bigger! And of course, more like a plum than a grape! LOL...I like the ones with orange flavoring, but I haven't really read the ingredients. There's probably something in there that's bad. :-(
Question for you...did you modify your diet at all while you were in the midst of your big poop adventures? Just curious.
Nice to see you posting again. Your sense of humor is SO needed when it comes to topics like this. We really appreciate you!

This is a reply to # 418,034Chris, yep, loving it being back in Texas...I had been away for too long...you know what they say, you can the boy out of Texas, but you can't take the Texas out of the boy! It's so great being back...
As for SA? I don't care for the city, actually. Alamo Heights is, however, a nice area...there are some dicey areas, but it just doesn't have much appeal to me. And it get nuclear hot there in the summer...not that Austin (where I am) is much better, but being even further south sure doesn't make it cooler!
And thanks for the words of appreciation...nice to know 'someone' appreciates me, even if it is about stories about poop! ;) :-)
As for the prune thing. Part of the problem is that I think I was scarred by them as a young kid, when my Great Aunt would drink prunce juice like it was going out of style...she always scared me with her mustache and I had to kiss her every time I saw her. EEK! So I have a childhood issue with prune juice that it hard to overcome. ;o)
So this begs the question, if you poop regularly, do you really need prunes for anything other than regularity? What other benefits do they provide...? I'm open to the idea, 30 years later, I may be able to actually swallow one!- To prune, or not to prune....that is... driftwood

This is a reply to # 418,042Hey GMS!
Glad you're settling in back home. Our fine state is certainly a brighter spot with you here, I'm sure. :-)
As for prunes. I think you'll probably live a long, healthy life without eating them. Besides fiber, they do have a ton of antioxidants though, but if you're eating berries and lots of green leafy stuff, you should be fine. That being said, you might really like them chopped up in cereal or oatmeal. When you're pushing those upper 30's like we are, a few extra antioxidants aren't such a bad thing. Anti-aging blah, blah, blah...you know!
So my final opinion on prunes? They'll probably never surpass a good brisket as your favorite food, but they aren't half bad. Skip the prune juice though--nasty stuff. NASTY! (JMHO) How do you think your aunt got that moustache anyway????
Happy pooping...prunes, or no prunes,
Chris

- THE TASTE OF PRUNES snoopychick

This is a reply to # 418,027Actually they are quite good. If you have ever had any type of dried fruit, then you know that they will be mushy and super sweet. I am not a huge fan of prunes, but actually, after eating some natural ones from Trader Joe's (the one without the preservative) they are quite tastey. Super sweet and a little gummy/sticky/chewy, but man, they really do the job of keeping you clean. I am really curious as to how clean they do make a person. I will have to look that up I suppose. I say try a bag, they are not much different from raisins. Although I must admit that prune juice probably tastes just awful!!
