A day or so: The laxative should wear off in a day or so. For the long term increase your intake of fiber and water. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. visit this site for info on fiber foods: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
