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.
