Prunes can be more effective for relieving constipation than prune juice. Prunes have 14.7g of sorbitol per 100g, whereas prune juice has 6.1g per 100g. You will have to drink more prune juice to achieve the same health benefits because the prunes are processed, and you will have to take in additional sugars.
These teas are the most commonly used to relieve constipation: 1  Senna tea acts as a stimulant laxative, which works by stimulating the intestines to move stool along. 2  Some people use dandelion tea to relieve water retention, but it can act as a mild laxative, too.  Cascara tea can have a strong laxative effect.
