Answer 1

Yes you can use plums instead of prunes, but they are not as effective. It must have something to do with the drying process, but stacking the nutritional info of the 2 next to each other, and prunes are way on top of plums. Especially for your constipation problem, stick with prunes if you can. If you can just not afford them there in sri lanka, go with plums of course. Increase your dietary fiber in general will help too - fruits, vegetables, bran, etc.. as much as you can.
