I had a friend on here suggest taking Smooth Move tea because...well you know, I eat a lot of cheese! 

I started the tea on Tuesday evening and in the last 3 days I've lost 10lbs! Do you think that is all from being backed up or maybe it's helping my weight loss push along too?

Either way...I'm all over that tea and will continue to take it every night!

Smooth Move Tea contains a stimulant laxative and your body can become "dependent" on stimulant laxatives to the point you can not go without a stimulant.

Have you tried Miralax?

DItto above.  Daily use of laxatives is NOT recommended.  Your bowel gives up working on it's own and just becomes dependant on the stimulant.

A colonoscopy of a person dependant on laxatives shows significant physical changes to the interior of the colon.  It becomes very dark, almost blackish blue, and is very very non-peristaltic.  I've seen many of them at work.  It can be reversed, but takes a long time.

Take a stool softener if neccessary, but leave laxative use to rare *emergency* occasions.  :)

I see! Something I didn't know about since I have never tabled in the laxative world. I was excited the juices were flowing! So...I'm thinking stool softener might be the way to go but they're all so huge and huge pills don't go down well. Any suggestions on a smaller stool softener?
