Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Prunes are generally safe to consume, but their appropriate dosage should be carefully considered based on individual circumstances. Consuming prunes in moderation can promote intestinal motility and improve the gut microbiota environment, thereby facilitating bowel movements. However, excessive intake may accelerate gastrointestinal motility, leading to diarrhea and potentially causing significant loss of nutrients. Therefore, patients are advised to consume prunes in moderation.
