A glass of prune juice is equivalent to more than one serving of the dried fruit, has high magnesium content, and is an excellent source of fluid to promote bowel elimination. Hot fluids, such as coffee, tea, or hot water with lemon juice, may also increase intestinal motility. High-fiber foods such as whole-grain bread provide bulk for the stool. Ice cream and diet soda do not provide any preventative measures for constipation.
