TW ... laxatives abuse
Hi, I take 1/3 of a 500ml bottle of laxatives 4 x a week. Do you know if its going to do any harm to myself in the long run... or is this say to take for a few months just whikst in trying to lose weight.
I mean, the fact that even you called it laxative abuse in the title suggests that its harmful. A healthy lifestyle change is the best option. Be patient because the body is lazy and needs a lot of time to let go of its excess fat. It's best to build healthy habits to keep yourself thin rather than rely on laxatives.
@Louisejnsen Don't do that. You end up constantely constipated like me 
@TheMadHatterWasHere When you stop taking them, that is.
Do u contestantly take laxatives
Hi Louise, I actually abused laxatives in high school and it actually ruined my digestive system in the long run. It will make you more constipated once you stop them and also it is not good for your liver/stomach to take more than the suggested amount and directions (which I did as well). It is harmful and I was actually sent to the doctors office after “overdosing” and taking too many which made my stomach hurt really bad which is when they told me this. I can completely relate to the attractiveness of laxatives to try to lose weight, but there are definitely healthier ways and supplements that can help you lose weight a different way
You can absolutely cause irreparable damage. Just having ED puts you at higher risk for gastroparesis and other GI issues. I know because I am personally suffering from it myself. There are safer laxatives available like miralax but you still have to be careful because if your intestines become dependent upon the laxative like someone else said you will be constipated all the time, just like me. Have you ever considered getting help?
