What to know about prune
Prunes are famous as a natural laxative, and the reason is right there in the trigger data: dried plums are loaded with sorbitol (a polyol) and excess fructose, both poorly absorbed FODMAP sugars that pull water into the gut. That same pile-up makes them a strong FODMAP trigger, and prunes are also high in salicylates and oxalates and rate high for sulfites. If prunes give you gas, cramping, urgency or loose stools, that is the mechanism working overtime, not a coincidence.
Watch for
- High in sorbitol and excess fructose, the two poorly-absorbed sugars behind the classic prune laxative effect and a lot of bloating and cramping
- High FODMAP overall, so even a few can set off gas, urgency or loose stools in a sensitive gut
- High in salicylates and oxalates, two separate triggers that matter if you react to aspirin-type foods or are prone to calcium-oxalate kidney stones
- Rated high for sulfites, a preservative common across dried fruit and a trigger for some people with asthma or sulfite sensitivity
