thankyou

Just go to the local supermarket and do your local shop and slip some laxatives into your trolley.

Trust me, I am a checkout chick and I don’t even look at what people buy, so chances are they won’t either.

What is the difference btwn women’s laxatives and all-bran 50% fiber cereal?

I am nervous to take laxatives because I don’t know how it will make me feel…. I am not exactly taking this because I need it.
in the last months i have gained 10 pounds and i need to get it off quick!! help!

Well, most laxatives are chemical irritants with no nutrients. All bran cereal contains a non-soluble fiber,which is not nearly as irritating to the colon, and you get some vitamins and minerals in the mix. Your body was designed to work with the food- and use the fiber in the cereal, plus absorb the nutrients it contains. Your body was not designed to have all the systems overridden by a chemical irritant. If you do not need a laxative, you should not take one. I should think that would be pretty obvious. You were designed for food, not pills. While one episode of laxatives probably won’t hurt anything, in the long run- laxative abuse does take it’s toll on you. Those tiny bits of damage add up, and you increase your risk of colon cancer, irritable bowel, Crohn’s disease, etc. If you want a healthy gut, eat the cereal.

How are Laxatives are used by anorexics?

I’m writing an english paper about the difference between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. I came accross laxatives i’m just not sure how they are used and what they help you in. I googled it but it’s better for me if someone who knows well explains it better.

Thank You.

you can eat what you want and as much as you want and right after you are finished eating take a laxative and it will make you poo out all the food you ate and your body won’t absorb any of the calories BUT doing this on a regular basis can lead to anal ,colon , and stomach cancer. I had a dear friend who took laxatives after she ate and she died of these cancers.

Can you have a bad reaction to laxatives?

The last two times I ahve taken them I’ve been really nauseous and I get muscle spasms/ twitches. I tried another laxative this time and now I am really sick. Is it possible to have an allegric reaction to laxatives and what can I do to stop the reaction?

Bummer.
A person can have a bad/allergic reaction to just about anything.
Usually though an allergic reaction has specific signs. Itching, rash, some very severe.
You might try drinking lots of water to "flush" the laxative out of your system. There are medications to counteract a true allergic reaction but if this is from an ingredient in the laxative, an antihistamine won’t help. A druggist is probably your best bet.
Next time I’d suggest a glycerin suppository.

what are the risks of using laxatives to promote weight loss?

What can happen to a person who uses laxatives to lose weight?
What happens to the body when a person uses laxatives to lose weight?

Eventually, your body will become dependent on the laxatives in order to have a bowel movement, and you will lose the ability to defecate on your own. Lack of activity in your colon/bowels can lead to rectal and/or colon cancer. Don’t do it!!!

How long does it take for Natural Senna laxatives to start working?

I don’t want them to kick in about 2 days!

If any of you have taken them – or know someone who has – what’s the average time it takes for Natural Senna laxatives to start working?

I’m meeting my friend tomorrow and I really don’t want them to just start working then…

If you take them last thing at night they usually work the following day, for me anyway so round about 15 hours. Every-ones digestive system is different though and it depends a lot on how long its been since you went. If its a long time it will probably take longer than that. I certainly wouldn’t take them before you meet your friend, just in case!

Am diabetic and remain constipated , have to take laxatives daily , is it good to be laxative dependent ?

I have chronic constipation , am diabetic from past 20 years and am on insulin from past 7 years , I remain so constipated that I have to take laxatives on daily bases , get a bulging feeling in the stomach , it swells out like a balloon although I do not eat much. Should I continue with laxatives ?

I would recommend that you include more fruits and vegetables in your diet and less meat and dairy. Since adopting this healthy diet, and exercising daily, I was able to quit all medications last year. I am regular as can be.

How can you lose weight quick using laxatives?

I know, I know…it sounds unsafe and who really wants to endure the cramps and frequent trips to the restroom. But I need to lose atleast 5-10 pounds in a week or so. I have started by drinking plenty of water and I have ate smaller portions at meal time, but I need quicker results.

Excercise and healthier eating habits are obviously the best way to accomplish weight loss, but I don’t have much time. Plus, excercise is time consuming and very boring. For a long-term and healthier lifestyle I will begin to follow those two simple rules but I need to drop this excess weight now!

And in case you are wondering I am going to a last-minute family reunion and I would hate to show my family that I have packed on few extra pounds! HELP! Which laxatives will work and how many or often do I take them?

PLEASE, don’t go the laxative route! First of all, you won’t loose any weight, you’ll lose a few water lbs, but gain them back before the reunion. I’m no expert on dieting, but I’ve struggled with weight my whole life and i’ve found there’s only one safe way to lose 10 or more lbs in a week (years of trying different diets, fasting and excersing makes me a SELF proclaimed expert I had to go to a wedding and had to lose 15 or more to fit in my dress and only had a week. Lost it easy. It’s a really hard diet to stick to (even for only a week), but it will work. PLEASE – THIS IS GIVEN ONLY WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT, IN GOOD HEALTH AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF ANY DIET WHICH DEPRIVES THE BODY OF ANY TYPE OF NUTRITION! It would be irresponsible for me to suggest this without saying that, however, I’ve asked several doctors, and they both said that they see no reason in the world why this should be unhealthful, and suggest "If it works for you, go ahead!". In Northern California there is a diet that the mental health hospital uses to de-toxify some patients and the combination of these foods take more calories to burn that it gives the body. So you’ll lose more weight than fasting. I’m not kidding either. Along with each day (below), make ahead of time a batch of this disgusting soup: (1 whole onion, 1 whole cabbage, 6 medium tomatoes, 1 package of lipton onion soup mix. Boil until veggies are soft. The more you eat of the above soup, the more weight you’ll lose, and the better you’ll feel at the end. I have a sheet which lists each day, discusses the soup in detail, the nutrition, etc…..and exactly WHY it works, etc…., but don’t have the room here to write it…so if you like, just trust this:
First day: East as much watermelon as you can stuff into your mouth. The more you eat, the more you lose. This first day, mostly gets rid of water. Eat the soup!
Second day: Your body is already super hungry after yesterday, but you will probably be 3lbs lighter by tomorrow morning – so keep it up! The rest of the diet will work by the end, so don’t get discouraged if you’re on day 5 and only lost 4 or 5 lbs. It does catch up! Eat as much green leafy vegetables as possible. Again, as much as you can stuff. Eat the soup at every hunger pain.
Third Day: Eat a combination of the above two days. You must STUFF though…as much as you can (without making yourself sick of course) – SOUP, SOUP, SOUP!!!
Fourth Day: Weird, I know, but eat 6 oz. of lean beef and all the green veggies that you want (not stuff yourself), but until your quite full (but only 6 oz of the beef – any kind). Don’t forget your soup – stuff, stuff, stuff.
Fifth Day: If your still on the diet, you’ve gone farther than most people will. This diet makes you super hungry, because your body thinks it’s not only NOT eating, but even worse….since the foods eaten burn faster than they do when even fasting, it feels even more starved. (this will not hurt you if done once in a while, in fact, I was told by two Doctors, that it’s good for you). Eat 6 more oz of beef and 6 small tomatoes. And of course, as much of the soup as you can manage.
6th day: 4 large bananas and 16 oz of milk – and stuff the soup down!
7th day: Congrats! You should be at minimum of 10lbs lighter now. And you have enough energy to run a marathon, don’t you? Hard, wasn’t it? Ease back into eating and you won’t gain much back, maybe a lb or two, if you watch it. Eat heartily of all the green veggies you want and have 1 cup of brown rice. Ease back on the soup (you’re probably sick of it anywayz)
Good luck to you!

Will I get in trouble for putting laxatives in cookies?

Someone at my work has been eating my leftover lunches I stick in the refridgerator. This happened twice. First time it was a half eaten burrito and yesterday it was some half eaten chicken quesidilla. Another co-worker told me that her sodas and bagels left in the refridgerator have been stolen as well. I wanted to put some chocolate cookies in the fridge w/ laxatives in there for that specific person. Will I get in trouble?

Not if it is in your lunch bucket or if it has your name on it and someone steals it. Only if you give it specifically to someone.

Why do Fiber One bars work better than laxatives?

Why do Fiber One bars work better than laxatives?

Honestly, I eat one of those things before going to bed, and the next morning I need to go. Laxatives work if they feel like it.

What’s in these bars that makes me go? It’s not the fiber, because it makes me have floppy sloppy poo, LOL.
Naw they don’t wreck me, I just wake up with sloppy poo, I don’t get gas or pains or anything.

9 grams of fiber per bar…

Those things wreck me…lol.

I have been taking laxatives to have a bowel movement since 1998 how can I stop taking laxatives?

I suffer from an eating disorder which is how the dependency to laxatives began. I want to have normal BM’s. How can I do that?

It’s going to depend on the type and the dosage, but hopefully you can modiffy this to your case:
If you take more than one which is what I’m guessing, slowly ease off. Say you take 3, today take your normal 2 and replace the 3rd with 1tblsp of olive oil(natural laxative) continue for about a week. Nexxt week replace he 2nd with like eating 2 tblsp of flax seed(another one) and only be takin the 1st laxative. A week later rplace your last me with another natural laxativ(east to google) by then you should be taking olive oil flaxseed and whatever else you choose. Start to learn how to incorporate these in meals(eg: flaxseed in sauces or cereals, olive oil and vinegar on salad, etc)
Oh and taking olive oil can seem gross, plug your
No
