What's your favorite laxative?

I only use enemas, sometimes I add some glycerin suppositories together with chamomile and olive oil.

I recently discovered a new one: try 45ml of lactulose and 10ml of sodium picosulphate. After two to three hours, the results can be explosive and you will be on the toilet all day! Loads of farting and explosive diarrhoea. Just what the doctor ordered!

Also tried this several times this year, worked almost every time reliably, although I normally add a fleet after one hour for added fun (and normally it's still just withholdable without the fleet after one hour😁).

Dulcolax (both the suppositories and the tablets)

Liquid glycerin (a small syringe squirted up the backside will have an almost immediate effect)

Castor Oil

I've been curious about a few laxatives that I can't really obtain here in Europe, like magnesium citrate.

I am not a fan of oral laxatives. As a kid, mom took business for the most part with enemas, sometimes with a suppository and I remember a few times getting castor oil. But even with the castor oil, I got a suppository with the castor oil to start the process.

As an adult, most of play has been with suppositories and enemas. To be honest, I don't dislike them, but when administered and you have no choice is a different situation. In play I have on several been given castor oil. While is very effective, top down, it tastes nasty, and I found to be unpredictable as to when I move my bowels. Though in all cases except for one, I got a suppository when the castor oil was administered and then follow on enemas after the castor oil kicked in.

I have two colonoscopy's and I used magnesium citrate and Dulcolax tablets. I don't think this was real bad, but 48 hours prior to the clean-out I did a high-fiber food diet and some low fat protein which made this a bit easier. So I guess this was least unpleasant experience.

Peaches and beer works wonders for me

I don't really have a "Favorite"

Bisacodyl is a "Default" when I am not sure what to do!

When I am doing Enemas till clear, I often take a high dose of bisacodyl a couple of hours before starting the first round.

I also often use Milk of Magnesia while I'm on the toilet passing each enema. Double dose after the first round. 1-1/2 doses after second round 1 dose after the third round and 1/2 dose after each subsequent round until clear return.

If I don't do the Milk of Magnesia then, after I get the clear return I use a bottle of Magnesium Citrate.

I have learned a good technique over the years for keeping Magnesium Citrate down. it is NOT100 percent! I occasionally have to re-swallow what comes up into the mouth.

I DO find magnesium citrate LESS heavily flavored than in the 1970s and 80s and easier to handle!

I don’t have a favorite laxative but if I had to choose it would probably be Dulcolax based on prepping for a colonoscopy.

I don’t really understand why you wouldn’t just take an enema for instant relief rather than taking a laxative and waiting and after you go you just keep going for a while.

Are you more speaking about 10mg not 10ml of it?

And what is the brand?

I recently discovered a new one: try 45ml of lactulose and 10ml of sodium picosulphate.

Oral laxatives tear me up and are not very predictable. Same with suppositories, lots of discomfort and very little if any relief. With an enema taken slowly within an hour of making my decision, I'm cleaned out and completely comfortable.

A good sachet of picoprep

Philips Milk of Magnesia. I take it for indigestion. A little more realy cleans things out.

I have recently tried something new when my maintenance dose of 1000Mg per day of mag oxide stopped working. I mixed MiraLAX with 4 Oz of prune juice for 3 days in a row. it worked like a charm with no cramping or super urgency. the trouble is it's a long time to wait for relief.

Tomato juice goes through me like draino. Even if not constipated. A Bloody Mary works well for me!

Hands down it's got to be suppositories. Soap or Glycerin suppositories are my go to choice. Enemas a close 2nd - hot and soapy.

I don't have a favorite laxative. When I was a young kid my mother would force me to take a huge tablespoon of milk of magnesia. If I didn't get a resuilt soon I'd get an enema. The milk of magnesia was forced down me and the enema was forced on me, I had to be held down, until the bag was empty, then I had to wait.

I was probably about 8 years old then. I haven't had milk of magnesia since then. I bought a 26 ounce bottle tonight. I just wanted to experience what it must have been like then, can't remember. I took 60 ml as what was suggested, along with a large glass of water. It will be bedtime in a couple hours. I suspect at some time there will be lots of gurgling down there. If it doesn't work, Wednesdays (tomorrow) is my enema day anyway, so I should be clean as a whistle sooner or later.

Are there cramps? I'll find out. - the hoseman

Can you tell how you taking it?

Also tried this several times this year, worked almost every time reliably, although I normally add a fleet after one hour for added fun (and normally it's still just withholdable without the fleet after one hour😁).

I took 60ml orally. I really thought I'd wake up during the night, I didn't. Early this morning, had no urge to go. I decided to have a 2 quart cleanse, just to clear the mom. Towards the end of emptying, felt someone different coming out, think it was the laxative, finally. Now that I'm clean inside, about ready for 3 quarts of coffee. A good way to start the day.

I like two or three glycerin suppositories one right after the other. Than wait about twenty or thirty minutes for the cramps to begin. For me, this seems to work well...

Bisacodyl. It always works and produces a violent urgency, especially in higher dosages.

Dulcolax Chews. They taste good. But my all-time preference will always be a nice, big, soapy enema.

I have never had occasion to use laxatives👿Only a nice enema😜Too many anecdotal bad adventures for me😵‍💫Yikes!!🥴

Depends on what I need.

Favorite: A warm enema

Need just a little help: two to four 250Mg magnesium citrate pills, 2-3 glycerin suppositories, or a Fleet enema

Going nuclear: A bottle of magnesium citrate, then one hour later one quart of Miralax solution, 8 ounces every fifteen minutes.

Favorite laxative?

No such thing.

Besides an enema, i'd have to say Citrate of Magnesium would be my second choice for a full clean out. But if i'm just looking to start a movement it'd be about 20cc of glycerin rectally and stay near the commode. 😃

I do not really use laxatives. Much rather have a nice warm enema to receive or to give as required.

The few times I’ve had to use laxatives, they worked slowly or not at all. I much prefer a couple of warm salt and baking soda enemas. They work every time, no waiting around.

All my life I have avoided oral laxatives, preferring an enema whenever possible. A few weeks ago I took one of my wife’s Senokot pills just to see how it worked. It confirmed that I prefer an enema any day. An enema guarantees results when you want it, not 6-12 hours later, maybe.

I don't like laxatives as doesn't know when they work, however I just took 3 Bisacodyl pills. I listened to my bowels, very noisy now, but it will probably be a few hours. I'll drink lots of water. Tomorrow, Sunday is my main enema day, can't wait.
