What can taking to many laxatives do?

Develop dependence: Proper eating habits including adequate hydration and routine exercise regimen goes a long way in helping with chronic constipation. Too many laxatives will fatigue your digestive tract. Explore with your doctor medication side effects. See a GI specialist to further evaluate chronic constipation.
