I took a laxative 2days ago an now i keep having pains in my sides it feels like little pinches do you know what's going on?

Colic pain: Many over the counter laxatives can overstimulate your colon causing spasms. These can be perceived as colicky or stabbing like pain. It is not recommended to take these medications on a regular basis since they can cause severe problems. I recommend for you to avoid these medications, if you suffer from constipation the best treatments are diet rich in fiber coming from naturally resources
