I took 2 laxatives (bisacodyls) last night at 10 pm. it is now 12 pm the next day, why haven't i gone?

Question

i at 2 cookies recently. but i still havent had to go to the bathroom. the only other time i took a laxatives was last week, i used 3 bisacodyls.

Answer 1

How long has it been since you went last?

If it's been a week and you have gone less than 2 times then it's time to see the doc. They will most likely prescribe a mineral oil enema and fiber. I don't want to scare you - so seeing the doc would be a good idea!

Answer 2

If you make a habit of taking this amount you can seriously do harm to your liver over time. It's not good for you, but honestly I take 3 Advils (or whatever I have on hand) all at once too and have taken about as much as you have over a 24 hour period, and I'm still alive. :) But I am 5'11" and bigger built so it probably wouldn't affect me like it would someone petite. (not sure how tall you are or how much you weigh, of course) You should be ok, but obviously if you start feeling ill you should notify a doctor, and don't do this for a lengthy period of time. You wanna keep that liver!

Answer 3

Sometimes people take laxatives thinking they need to eliminate or poop when actually they are OK.
Sometimes laxatives like prune juice only work if infact you do need to eliminate or poop.
When one takes laxatives like you have taken you should be feeling something like intestinal cramping whether you need to eliminate or not as the intestines are reacting to the laxative.
To not notice any kind of action would suggest that you might actually be using laxatives more often than you suggest and now your body is needing more as it has gotten use to the doseage you have been using.
Try drinking hot fluids such as coffee or hot tea,this can often times trigger the intestines to act.

Good Luck

Answer 4

If you're not eating properly it's not going to help. I would see a dr. if you are taking them that often. Try doing a colon cleanse from the vitamin store. Ultra Cleanse. You do it for 30 days, its like a detox

Answer 5

i am not sure but i do know that if you are taking supplements of fibre (same outcome) you need to drink plenty of fluids or it will actually reverse the effects.

Cause and effect. can't start a fire without a spark and you can't keep it going without oxygen. sometimes things rely on other things to work properly

Answer 6
