People who abuse laxatives often find themselves in a no-win situation. They use laxatives to "feel thin," which is an immediate, positive result. Eventually, however, the exact opposite occurs. They find themselves "feeling fat" from excessive water retention—a delayed, negative result. Here are some steps to stop abusing laxatives:
1. Stop taking laxatives right now, and do not take any more unless your physician instructs you to do so. Remember that stimulant-type laxatives are especially harmful to the body (see the reverse side).
2. Drink at least 6 to 10 cups of water (and decaffeinated beverages—not caffeinated beverages because they act like a diuretic, promoting loss of fluid) a day. Restricting your fluid intake at this time promotes dehydration and only worsens the constipation.
3. Including some physical activity in your regular daily pattern can also help to regulate your bowel function, although you should discuss the intensity and type of activity first with your health care provider or therapist. Too much or too vigorous exercise can worsen constipation, due to the effects on your metabolism and fluid balance.

How laxatives work?
Bulk-forming laxatives add bulk and water to your stools. The larger stools help trigger the bowel to contract and move the stools out. You must use bulk-forming laxatives daily for them to work. Start slowly and drink plenty of fluids. Gradually increase how much you use to reduce the chance of having any side effects.
Lubricant laxatives work by coating the surface of the stools. This helps the stools hold in water so they move out of the body more easily. Glycerin suppositories lubricate the inside of the anus (the outside opening to the intestine) to make it easier to pass hard stools.
Stool softeners help mix fluid into stools to soften them. This makes stools easier to pass out of the body.
Saline laxatives draw fluid into the bowel from nearby tissue. This softens stools and helps the bowel move them out.
Stimulant laxatives are the harshest laxatives. They cause the bowel to squeeze or contract to move the stools out. Stimulant laxatives should generally be used only when your doctor recommends them, such as if you’re preparing for a bowel exam or if you’ve just had surgery and shouldn’t strain to have a bowel movement.http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/otc-center/otc-medicines/861.html

What are some common side effects?
Most laxatives don’t have side effects if you use them correctly. Sometimes they can cause cramping, gas, bloating, nausea or diarrhea.
Stimulant laxatives are most likely to cause side effects. These can include abdominal discomfort, faintness and cramps.
With bulk-forming laxatives, you may notice some bloating, gas or cramping at first. This is more likely if you take too much or increase the amount you’re using too quickly. These symptoms should go away in a few weeks or less.
If mineral oil is accidentally aspirated (breathed into the lungs), it can cause a type of pneumonia. Older adults or anyone who might have trouble swallowing generally shouldn’t use this type of laxative.

What are the harmful effects of laxatives?
When a person chooses commercial laxatives for a long term constipation problem, the product can eventually cause some serious repercussions. The colon and lower digestive tract will ultimately stop working without the use of laxatives. You also run the risk of permanent damage to the colon. Some people have even stopped feeling the urge to use the bathroom. That event only makes the constipation worse. It is very important to use an all natural laxative to prevent these things from happening.
