It will work, if she cuts down on over-eating and gets off her fat ass, to do some basic exercise, like long walks. It has no serious effect on one's health, except that she should be ready to pop in the loo evry now and then.

My aunt has lactose intolerance and she takes a pill before eating lactose products. Consult a doctor. And soy milk's also good.

all i can say is fast, dont eat anything and use diuretics and laxitives. Its not safe, but its the only way I know of. Good luck.

I will work for a short time, but you can become severely dehydrated as well as addicted to the laxatives, plus when you go off of them, you'll gain the weight back. Try to find a healthy alternative such as eating well and exercising.

If you need a laxative, then buy a mild one like Exlax. Use it in moderation .It is far better to eat lots of fruit and drink lots of water.

I think that syrup of ipecac can make someone vomit, but I don't know if that's what bulimics use.  I have heard more often of bulimics overusing laxatives.\n\nHere is a website that might help you approach your friend in a helpful way:\nhttp://www.counseling.caltech.edu/articles/helpfriendwitheatingdisorder.html\n\nSounds like a very sad and difficult situation, I wish you and your friend the best.  Good luck!

not really an answer but is there a chance he's put something in his nose, like vicks vapor rub?? if he's done this, he needs to see a doctor asap because it can cause respiratory problems if ingested.

Well, anorexics usually take a lot of laxatives so anything that might be in their systems is evacuated ......\n\nnot a pleasant subject

No, I wouldn't worry. The blood is probably from there being so much pressure on your bowels. I've had this problem, and you should just take a good laxative, like Carters Little Pills. To keep from having these episodes, you should also drink plenty of liquids, water, juice and so on to keep yourself regulated. Another thing, add more roughage into your diet. Good luck!

Interestingly, laxatives are a subset of derivatives.  "LAX" refers to the game of lacrosse.  If one takes the derivative of scoring in a Lacrosse match with respect to time, that is called taking the "laxative" of the match.

This may also help you. Below is a link to a great product. Most of us take some form of multi-vitamin but neglect the minerals we need. Below is the best mineral you can possible purchase (only $12.00). The good thing for you is that taken in higher amounts it produces a laxative effect.

Laxative in his coffe, tea or beer.  Better still, sew some prawns into the linings of his curtains.  He will wonder for days where the stench is coming from, unless of course he reads Yahoo answers.   I can think of a few other things, but it wouldn't be legal.   Best of luck.

Until no microflora bacteria are left. Then one does not need laxatives more to have permanent diarhea and no way to stop it without treatment. \n\nHipovitaminosis may develop also, especially for vitamins soluble in fat (A, E, D) with all range of symptoms. Metabolism becomes distorted and slow.\n\nSome stronger laxatives (also with diuretic substances) may induce problems of cardiovasculary system and faint. \n\nSorter, it depends on kind of laxatives and initial health. It is better to use herbal mixes, which increase the rate of metabolism and fat is burned faster, also detoxifying mixes, in case you use these laxatives for weight problems.

okay, this is really gross too.  I have a friend (yes really, a friend, not me) that went on a blind date.  She was having a great time and really liked the guy and was trying for a second date.  Well that afternoon (before the date) she was feeling a little "irregular" so she took a laxative.  So by the end of the date she had been "holding it in" if you know what I mean.  The guy pulls up in front of her house and you know the usual first awkward kiss is supposed to happen. but instead my friend farted spraying poop everywhere.  All over herself, the seat and the upholstery in the car which I might add was beige!  Needless to say the second date never happened.  Oh yeah,  did I mention she was wearing white?

Go to the pharmacy and ask a Pharmacist.. Or you could wander up and down the medicine aisle until you find a product that says LAXATIVE or STOOL SOFTENER.. \n\n--dietary habits like a low intake of dietary fiber or inadequate amounts of fluids also could be your problem..\n\n--intervention is the increase of fluids (preferably water) and dietary fiber. The latter may be achieved by consuming more vegetables and fruit, whole meal bread and by adding linseeds to one's diet\n\n--Laxatives may be necessary in people in whom dietary intervention is not effective or inappropriate. Stimulant laxatives (e.g. senna) are generally avoided, as they may worsen crampy sensations commonly experienced in constipation

You might not "harm them" per se...but if you want someone who's jolted and awake all the time who's about to sh_t in his/her pants at any moment, then yeah, I would say that would cause some degree physical "harm"  :)  seriously, though... it depends on the dosages used... since caffeine is known to cause constipation, it might just cancel out the effects of the laxative (this is just in theory, I don't know if it's like this in practice).
