AdherenceNever taken as prescribed

BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
As needed
Advice & Tips:
I take stewed prunes, about 5 - 10 nightly, as needed. It tends to make me gassy and because of this, I do not socialize until the gassiness disipates. It does seem to loosen the stool. Little impact. It was not prescribed by my MD who thought it would not help. I decided to take it on my own.
