How to stop taking laxatives?

It is not clear from your entry why you started taking laxatives and what and what is the reason that you have been using them for so long. If there were difficult to fight, unrelenting constipation and this condition continues with you to this day, then it is advisable to contact a gastrologist. Such ailments can signal a disease of the gastrointestinal tract, which needs to be diagnosed. As a result of long-term, unjustified by medical reasons, purging in an "artificial" way with the help of intestinal irritants, they lose the ability to defecate on their own. This means that you need to take more and more of these types of products to provoke defecation. The consequences of the abuse of such preparations can be dehydration, malabsorption of nutrients and minerals and intestinal diseases. In general, the most commonly recommended way to end the chronic use of laxatives is their gradual but consistent discontinuation by reducing the amount of medication taken, with the modification of diet and physical activity in terms of counteracting constipation. A consultation with a family doctor and nutritionist may be helpful. I attach material about constipation, which may be interesting: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/zaparcia-jak-z-nimi-walczyc
