Laxatives are normally used when someone has been constipated for a long time and they need to have a bowel movement. A poor diet, physical inactivity, pregnancy, illness or stress can disrupt normal bowel function. Constipation can be bad for your body, so a doctor may tell you to take a laxative to move things along. There are several different types of rectal laxatives and they work in different ways. The most widely used laxatives are the stimulant preparations.
Many products are advertised to relieve constipation, including bulk-forming laxatives, lubricants, stool softeners, saline laxatives, stimulant laxatives and combinations. Some-bulk-forming laxatives are derived from natural sources such as agar, psyllium, kelp (alginates), and plant gum. Bulk-producing laxatives help restore normal moisture levels in the intestine and provide bulk to promote well formed stools. If not used properly, or if used too often, laxatives can become addictive and make your struggle with constipation worse instead of better.
Stool softeners do not usually cause problems but are less likely to be effective if you do not drink enough water during the day. Saline laxatives attract and retain water in the intestinal lumen, increasing intraluminal pressure and thus softening the stool.
Inducing diarrhea by laxatives does not significantly change the absorption of food in the body. Increased fibre in the diet is a better way of preventing constipation, rather than uncontrolled, often excessive use of laxatives by people with a poor diet.
Sometimes they can cause cramping, gas, bloating, nausea or diarrhea. Stimulant laxatives are most likely to cause side effects.
