Prunes and other foods high in salicylates before surgery - when do you recommend to stop eating them?

I did not know that prunes contain salicylates until you ask this question, so thanks for allowing me to learn something. I agree that prune juice is extremely helpful for promoting a bowel movement. Magnesium and fiber is excellent, and I understand that you are taking these. Consider substituting prune juice with Miralax for 2 weeks before surgery and then 2 weeks after surgery, and then you can resume your routine. I hope this helps, and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
