Hi everyone,

I noticed a lot of us have/had or will have bouts of constipation. I was hit with it fairly hard after my second biopsy and surgery. I was really uncomfortable! I know laxatives work just fine, but good ole' prune juice kept me feeling regular in a better way. And if you really have it bad--one can kick it up a notch by adding a little bit of milk-of-magnesia to the prune juice...then you better watch out! Or if you can...just eat a couple of dried prunes here and there...My Mum-Mum is coming out in me...a wonderful grandmother she was...

Best Wishes,
Raymond
