Do stool softeners work the same way as laxatives?
When one takes a lot of laxatives, the body becomes dependent on them for its metabolism. I know stool softeners do not make the body dependent on them for normal production.
I am curious, however, if taking stool softeners will allow you to lose weight like laxatives would.
Also, would you lose more weight with stool softeners or a body cleansing method? Thank you for your help!
A stool softener is a type of laxative, and your body will become dependent on it should you use it regularly.
Laxatives are useful if you are constipated. They are not helpful in reducing your weight.
If you want to weigh less then you should eat well, exercise moderately and live a passionate life.
As for body cleansing methods, the body is always cleaning itself.
Can laxatives actually make you lose weight?
Just curious, how does a laxative make you lose weight? Is it just water, that will gain back when you eat? What if you drink Slimming Tea every night? Can laxatives give you a flat stomach?
Laxatives can not give you a flat stomach. Slimming tea is also a natural laxative. The laxatives use the water in your body to flush out the remaining food in the digestive tract. You will gain the weight back within the next few days after the treatment and you will only be dehydrating yourself. chemical laxatives can also strip away layers of your digestic tract and can later develop ulcers. Laxatives should only be used for constipation and not for weight loss. However natural cleansing diets are good once a month because they flush out build ups but don't strip the linning of the digestive tract. This allows the body to use the body to gain all the nutrietns it can from the foods you eat leaving you less hungry.
How do laxatives work? What are the mechanics of it?
I’m curious about how laxatives actually work… not just a stock answer like “chemicals”, but the actual going-ons in the body in relation to the chemicals that make you go to the bathroom.

I wasnt sure which laxitive you were talking about so I just gave you the web page.
Also I wouldnt suggest taking laxitives. If you have to take anything start with 2 tsp of brown sea salt in a quart of warm water to flush your colon, then I would use products like cascara sagrada to help your colon move better.
When a colon becomes slow it is because the colon is not contracting and moving the food to the end. Laxitives and natural products both help the spasm effect of the colon but OTC and medical products will make your colon dependent on the medication to move your colons if you use it even twice.
