How long can you use laxatives?

Extended use of laxatives makes the bowel muscles weak and flabby. You should only use them for a short time. Instead, eat 2 or 3 servings of fresh fruit per day along with fresh vegetables.

When you arise in the morning, drink 2 glasses of water, and drink water all day. You can take 500-1000mg of vitamin C per day to help loosen things up.
