It really does help.    That's a terrible idea. He/she will have to become more and more dependent on laxatives which is not good for your body. the laxatives work fine, i usually take miralax which isnt as strong, but i agree with you, i dont wanna become dependent on them. Yeah, it's better to find out what exactly is causing your problem. That way, you don't have to worry about taking laxatives. :D Anonymous Posted at 3:57 pm on July 10, 2009 Quote: from Doubleshift at 3:44 pm on July 10, 2009 Quote: from WindChill at 5:43 pm on July 10, 2009 You need laxatives and if they aren't working as well as u'd like they need to be increased.

Talk to a specialist about what is going on. It might be more than just "you're not eating the right foods". thanx for replying, i will take a look at the site. i take anti acids evryday for my acid reflux. sometimes i take excedrin or acetomenophen or vicodin for my migraines, last night i took vicodin and excedrin for migraines, i took anoths excedrin just now cuz im getting another one :-[ what kind of specialist can i talk to? regular doctors dont listen to me. Yeah pain medication can cause constipation ,especially since you're taking that much. I don't know the proper term, but maybe a doctor that specializes in the colon? He/she could maybe find out what is the root of your problem, and if it's the medication, maybe recommend something else.
