What's your favorite laxative?

@Sean I think the glycerin lubricates the passage, in addition to provoking movements inside that may soften the stool. I was made to wait until I had a “real big urge”.

@Pecan_nutjob

I don't dispute what you say at all. “Movement inside” is essentially kneading the poo, which really does very little if it's mostly hard and dry. For a comfortable toilet trip, your poo has to be about like mashed potatoes.

I don't think “favorite” is the right way to think of it.

I prefer to think of it as a “default” laxative.

I am such a traditionalist. When I use an oral laxative it is just a big dose of Epsom salts in a glass of warm water. When I take an enema, it is 2-3 quarts of hot Ivory soapsuds.

Trying Castor Oil for the first time this weekend. Any tips?

In the case that you will take 1/2 oz (= 15 ml) castor oil in your mouth and mix this there with your saliva for 15 minutes before swallowing this one you will not have any problems with the taste of castor oil for the receptors concerning the taste of castor oil are not in the front of the mouth but at the back. 1 to 2 hours later the bowel movement will begin.

I'd bite the bullet and swallow the castor oil right away rather than holding it in my mouth for 15 or 30 minutes.

When I was in for a triple bypass I made sure I had a good move before I had the procedure. While I was recovering they didn't give laxatives but stool softeners every day. I never did go in the hospital and when I got home it was like trying to shit tapioca pudding. Just very sticky. That first one was a son of a bitch. I've found that Miralax works very well, and you can add fiber as well. It works so good there are no opportunities to give a good enema around my house.

Prune juice, or milk of magnesia and a suppository,

None, don't need them.

@Moppys_jalopy

The go-to solution in hospitals these days is Colace, Colace, and more Colace. IMO, they are clueless.

Co;lace tends to produce soft, sticky poo that is had to pass. Been there.

I always refuse the Colace (Dulcolax suppositories and Fleet enemas also) and try to convince the doctors to order a plain, warm water, bag enema. It always works and a bedpan full of poo is just minutes away.

How went?

Dulcolax suppos

Dulcolax Suppositories. They work fast, usually within 15 minutes and make your stools nice and soft and give you a good clean out. Not to mention Fun to receive.

Is it dangerous to take picoprep. I so want to test it

Better not to use the same laxative in consecutive sessions.

If you have 3 options or more, all the better

I have was thinking of taking one does of the picoprep bowl prep. I have got it white outer a recipes Frome Norway there you can get it over the counter. I have no allergies and no diagnosis what i now But it's is the first time i try this if i do. I have tried bitersalt one time

If you don't have any of the mentioned preconditions in the leaflet it's safe to take - I also recently took one dose of it for fun 😉

Why do you say that? Most have the same or similar stimulants.

@ankan89 have you tried it yet?

Picoprep is a great laxative, you will be soon cleaned out.

You will not have time to think of side effect, Picoprep will kick soon and you will be cleaned and happy!

If I use, say bisacodyl. then the next time I might use magnesium citrate of milk of magnesia or even Miralax.

I won't just use another brand of bisacodyl!

A cup of coffee in the morning. Taken via the normal oral route (not up the ass!). Caffeine is an underrated laxative. Only works if I take it early in the morning though. A doctor, nutritionist or scientist might be able to explain why it doesnt work later in the day for moving bowels.

I'm the same way, after a little coffee, I have a BM. You don't later because your bowels are pretty much empty.

@ankan89 have you tried it yet?

Yes it was okay i tnink. Did not have a so hard reaction. I think i like Castrol oil best

i think i like Castrol oil best

No, this in any case: Take “castor oil” instead of “Castrol oil”!

I’ve only tried sorbitol, it worked for sure.

yes its a miss spelling from me

Valvoline (valve - oh - lean) GTX racing oil . .ooooh that smell barrelling through the pipes of a well sorted V8 as the throttle gates open up, pissing out intoxicating exhaust fumes . . . ahhh the smell of enriched benzine & methanol in the morning

Actually I do not have a favourite laxative as the preferred option comprises of 5 letters beginning with E

Coincidentally if one were to open my fridge & see 4 box's of different type supps you'd likely say . . don't sh*t me

Experimental purposes . .lol

The kind that work fastest are my favorites. Milk of magnesia, magnesium citrate and epsom salts always have produced results within 30 minutes, but gave me diarrhea-like bowel movements for more than a day.
