Can laxatives cause an appendix to burst?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rather the constipation for which the laxatives are being used, a ruptured appendix is a surgical emergency.

Laxatives would not cause a normal appendix to burst. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
