When you say you are losing weight "by the healthy method," can we assume you mean by low carbing? It's just that you say "nothing" as your low carb plan, so I am wondering...

Man when I read your post..It so hit home..Many years ago..I to was addictive to laxatives...They are so bad for you and after many years of abusing them..I have had trouble w/my bowels..intestines..etc. I was taking up to 4-6 a day..I would wake up and have had accidents in my bed..Thats how bad I was..So, YES please get off them..You will have the reversal effect and will become constipated but there are other means of fixing that which is more natural..Drink lots of water/metamucil and of course magnesium helps. Until your body gets use to not having them and gets back to working on its own..U will be miserable..But its so worth it..Even now when I do get plugged up..Laxatives come into mind..then I think back of the addiction and I work it out..

Best of luck to you..

do not use that stuff, you can try a natural supplement that cleanses the colon, by oxygen means if possible, and keep up with daily exercise, and eating healthy - increase daily fiber intake.
