I have mild constipation not that bad but difficulty in passing.I am 77. Having compacted hard stools makes me squeeze too hard. I have tried various remedies without success but I would like to pass on this which might help others.

I picked this off the internet. Take equal measure prunes and  plums add boiling water and simmer for 15 mins till soft.I took about 5 spoonfuls first thing in the morning and some later the same day.

Today I passed the first amazing soft stools for weeks if not months!!  Hallelujah!!
