A member asked:
I took 2 gentle laxatives i've never had this problem before but now i am cramping every so often before i have to go and it is a tad painful?

Bowel cramps: Laxatives stimulate bowel action, and you are feeling it. This is a good symptom that tells you the medicine is working. Drink water to stay hydrated and wait for the laxatives to work. (Hollow organs give you cramping sensations; solid organs give you more constant discomfort.)
