no, that is silicon.

I'm not sure what these other guys are talking about... but you can think of laxatives as throwing up. Your esophagus can get eaten up if you keep throwing up a lot. The same with taking laxatives all the time. Let me do some research and I'll help you out a little better. There are long-term damages though, I'm sure!Decided to do that right now.. here ya go!http://www.anred.com/lax.html

Laxatives irritate the bowels, and that can't be good in the long term. Also, the muscles get unfit and lazy, and you are more likely to get constipated when you stop using them. To avoid that, eat more fibre.

do you think its true about losing lost of weight from taking them or is it just the loss of water that makes it look like weight ?

you're not still trying to have a baby are you?

nooo if you read my depresson post it says it all there i only started messing with this crap after my misscarriages a few months ago ive had a number of them in the last yr and well ive given up now i was not doing anything like this at all while trying or being pregant just so thats clear k

no cause i dunno why really i guess its this whole trainee counsellor sing a counsellor thing i guess im so used to doing everything myself i dont really know when to ask for help anymore

You didn't read anything on the link I gave you? Well, here is the answer to that one question.

Laxatives remove lots of water from the colon as well as food residue. The scales indicate weight loss after a laxative-induced bowel movement, but it is false weight loss. The ounces or pounds return as the body rehydrates after liquid intake consumption. If the person refuses to drink liquids, s/he risks dehydration which can lead to fainting spells and in some cases death.

sorry i was honestly just clicking on the link thankyou though its all good info that i needed
