I was directed to take a laxative a day and i was wondering if these could cause gastric ulcers?

Thankfully not....: Not typically - a common cause of stomach ulcers are overuse of nsaids. Bowel regimen agents (laxatives / stimulants) are more likely to cause diarrhea, bloating, and nausea. You can also consider trying probiotics to help regulate your GI tract. Hope that helps!
