Laxatives: Laxatives will give you diarrhea so if you over do it you can go back and forth changing form constipation to diarrhea and back again. Increase fiber in your diet, drink lots of fluid, avoid high fat foods, supplement with nature fiber like psyllium and things should normalize. If not, see your MD for workup
