Fox News reported that a review of 33 studies links eating two green kiwis daily for four weeks to more regular bowel movements in people with constipation or IBS-C. The full article is available through the Fox News report on the kiwi review.
The headline of the Fox News article mentions prunes in its opening words and describes a popular green fruit that "shows promise" for constipation relief. The headline does not name the fruit, while the article summary identifies it as the green kiwi.
According to the Fox News summary, the review concerns people with constipation or IBS-C who ate two kiwis a day over four weeks. The summary does not say how the 33 studies were selected, who conducted them, or how many people took part in each.
The summary also does not describe the size of the reported increase in bowel movements or compare the kiwi results with other foods or treatments. Fox News published the summary on November 8, 2026, according to the source data, and the source data lists no author for the piece.
No other outlet's account of the review appears in the material available for this report, so the findings are described here only as Fox News presented them. Readers seeking more detail would need to consult the review itself, which the Fox News summary does not identify by title or journal.
