I had my husband buy me some child size glycerin suppositories to put in to try to make the hard tip part soften up before I go but I haven't had a chance to try it. I wonder if that would help you. I figured since it was a child size, I could just lube it up and it should be easy enough to insert.

I am no prune expert ! I think this was one of Lecias backup tips :D
I ate 5 prunes and ended up with tummy ache it sure got things moving the next morning !! I eat one/two a day now, I get heartburn if I eat too many

After eating FIVE prunes at one sitting, I'd say you are now a prune expert!!! You know!

… Nothing better to do with my time but sit and eat prunes !!

Your siggys are soo funny AdminKim

tabby that prune picture is hilarious! what a happy little prune

Just don't try the prune juice. Talk about acidic watery poo or maybe just a few sips. I drank a whole glass after my hem surgery and I heard my tummy rumbling and I spilled about 3 days worth of waste in that form and thought I was going to die!

Glad that prune made you smile Juney
Aww Lecia that is no fun I felt like that from those 5 prunes, Very acidic

Corsi,you can get calcium from other foods like dark green leafy veggies esp spinach(if cooked well,soft and great fibre,has iron)rhubarb,yogurt,tofu,beans,oranges,almonds(not for us maybe)sardines,salmon,mustard greens,turnip greens,okra,tempeh,soyabeans,calcium fortified foods.
hows the pain?

Just one small note- spinach although rich in Fe actually slows down absorption of Fe since it has oxalates which block absorption. Calcium also slows down absorption of iron so it is best to eat calcium rich foods separate from Iron rich foods (for example - don't drink milk with Fe supplement). Also , what I learned , coffee and tea slow down absorption of Fe and Ca, while acidic juices help with absorption. Orange juice fortified with Ca is perfect combo (we have that here in USA).
Hope this info helps
CORSI - how are you doing today buddy ??? I hope all is well "down south" !

Hi Corsi,
Hope you are well.
