Is there anything that can help my addiction to laxatives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Professional help: You need a full medical eval to determine the extent damage to your body that the chronic laxative use has caused. If this is related to an eating disorder -could be addressed through over eaters anonymous as well as treatment programs your provider can help you to connect with. If it is not related to an eating disorder, your physician (or another specialist) will help to develop tx plan.
