you don't take laxatives at any time unless you are constipated for at least 2 days.
by "stuffed up" do you mean as in congested? if you are getting a cold you can feel bloated and your appatite will wane. If that happens and you are eating the same amount of food you usually eat, then you will certainly feel bloated. Try drinking clear liquids for a half a day or so. You will feel better once your system has time to catch up with you.

Laxatives work if the bloating is because you haven't had a bm in awhile, but if that's not it you could take a water pill.

No cuase it bloats u up more getting all that stool ready and can be painful, then it takes for ever to work so uend up having to go really bad when its the wrong time. Like in a trffic jam out with friends at work. Just use pepto nothing to force it out goodluck

DO NOT START WITH LAXATIVES! Allow nature to take its course. Laxatives could become addictive and, believe me, you don't want to go there.
Drink plenty of water, tea, clear soup. In a day or so, your body will take care of itself.

DON'T DO IT!! laxitives will harm your body like emetics. They burn away at your digestive tract. Just excercise and eat healthy. I had a friend who once took laxatives and got damage to his liver so surgery had to be performed.
