Can A Glass Of Orange Juice Act As A Laxative?

I’ve just had a dramatic demonstration that it does work, so I asked Google AI, the question in the title of this post and I received the following answer.

Yes, a glass of orange juice can act as a mild laxative due to its fiber content (especially with pulp) and the flavonoid naringenin, which may have a laxative effect. It also provides hydration, which is crucial for soft, regular bowel movements.

As, in this weather with low pressure, I seem to be suffering from constipation more than usual, I’ll make sure I always have orange juice in the fridge.

Orange juice is also a good alternative, as in Can You Take A Dulcolax With Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease?, I found I couldn’t take my usual laxative, as I have been diagnosed with uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease.
