Plums are good for constipation if you eat enough of them and they're good for you too.

But prunes are much better at relieving constipation than plums because prunes contain much more fiber than plums.

Prunes also contain natural sugar called sorbitol which helps absorb water where it can find it and helps with constipation too.
