Laxative Addiction

Many women will use laxatives for long periods of time, either because of their profession or just to maintain a very thin look. The consequences of abusing laxatives are that the body is starved, and becomes waiflike and will remain that way until the addiction is dealt with. This abuse also ruins your body’s ability to naturally defecate and cleanse itself from waste products. On top of that, you can ruin your body’s natural flora of acidophilus, bifidus, and other flora that are naturally occurring in the body.

You should definitely seek advice from a trained professional, if you or someone you love is addicted to laxatives. It can lead to problems far too numerous to mention.
