I’m 15, I’ve suffered from an eating disorder for 2 years.
I’ve been in recovery sense last November, which was when I began abusing laxatives. I stared out only taking a few but now I take 15-35 laxatives a day.
for the past 3 days I’ve barely eaten, this morning i was so weak and shaky and i could barely stand in the shower, i finally decided to eat breakfast today an as soon as i had finished my shower i had a bowl of cereal and a glass of apple juice. I’m 94lbs right now and I just feel like I’m so fat, i’m 5’3″ and i know i’m underweight but I don’t see it.
My eating disorder has ruined my life, I’m home-schooled now and all I think about is food, calories an my weight.
From the laxative abuse I am beginning to lose control of my bowels, yesterday I was sitting on my bed doing school work when suddenly.. um, well, i pooped my pants. I feel disgusting, I’m a 15 year old girl, I am not a baby, I am humiliated and disgusted with myself, I’m beginning to get lazy bowel syndrome which is an effect of laxative abuse, i haven’t seen a doctor about this, i know i should but i’m scared. my mum thinks ive stopped taking laxatives. i just dont know what to do, i feel like im relapsing and im terrified.The laxative abuse is the worst i just need help
Im having a colonoscopy in 8 hours, and I used that horrible s**t, FLeet Laxative. I cleaned out, but I cant go through another dose of that stuff, I had a headache the entire night, and it tasted aweful, I could barely keep it down. Can I do an enema right before i go to the colonoscopy to clean out, so I dont have to reschedule?
Is corn a laxative? I even put a lot of salt and red pepper on the corn on the cobs. They were large sized. I ate like four and in the morning woke up with loose stools and kept having diarrhea, 3 or 4 times i had loose diarrhea. Is this because i ate the corn?
I already have blood in the stool, I’m just worried whether or not the laxative will cause more blood to come out?
I have blood in stool already. What I mean is when I drink the laxative, will this cause more blood? If it does, then what would I need to do? Because I know a laxative makes you use the bathroom more.
I get diarrhea after drinking a standard cup of black coffee or a shot of espresso.
I’ve asked this question on how to NOT get diarrhea after drinking coffee before but received unhelpful replies such as "it’s meant to do that – coffee is a laxative" or "stop drinking it".
Does EVERYONE get diarrhea after drinking coffee? If not, how can I be like them?
Haha just for fun, I heard gum contains this chemical ‘sorbitol’ which is used in gum but which is equally used as a laxative, now obviously there is very little sorbitol in gum but i found it in the list of ingredients for gums like ‘excel’ so how many pieces would u have to chew on b4 u get diarrhea.
I’ve been informed that, recently, a laxative used to cleanse the colon prior to a colonoscopy was found to cause kidney damage. Since a family member may have used it, I’d like to find out which one it was, and information about it.
I have been very prepared to get my first colonoscopy over with this morning. However, I began the mandatory colon cleansing around 6 pm last night and experienced no bowel movement whatsoever. I followed the MoviPrep instructions exactly and absolutely nothing. I poop all the time (diarrhea) and then they tell me to down some heavy duty laxative that tastes like salt and this doesn’t make me go! What the hell is going on?
I have had constipation for more than ONE MONTH. I have gone but i need laxative to go. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. The doctor told me i just need to exersise more and eat fiber, TWICE. WHAT THE HELL?!? I do not think this is a small thing, but what do i know? i need help. I have even thought about stopping eating so i dont have to deal with it.
I AM 14 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS PISSING ME OFF.
I just ate like six cups of white rice with strawberries at about 12 midnight tonight. Both foods cause constipation.
How long will it take before I start to pass this rice? When should I take an over-the-counter laxative so I can time it so my stools dont come out painfully? Now? Tomorrow?
