A member asked:
Can frequent and excessive use of stimulant laxatives in a short time cause gi motility disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laxatives: Short answer is possibly as limited use should not cause severe problems. But if the underlying reason you are using stimulant laxative is a GI motility problem, then it might worsen that situation. Best to avoid frequent use and address underlying reasons for use. If it is related to an eating disorder, please get that addressed.
