Can I reverse the effects of a laxative?
Either immodium, or benadryl. Immodium works directly on the bowels to slow them down, while benadryl's side effect is to slow down gastric movements, but will also make you sleepy. Like the last answerer stated, do not take them until it actually happens, as you may end up just giving yourself constipation.
How long does it take for laxative effects to stop?
It can take a day or two. It's better to use fiber, they have it in pill form or you can eat high fiber foods. I suggest 20 grams a day for a couple days and it will do the trick naturally. Those laxatives can tear you up, I've actually had to counter the affects by taking Imodium before to stop the diarrhea!
What are the side-effects of bulimia?
Bulimia’s side effects can be extremely harmful to a person’s health and well-being. Often times, a person struggling with an eating disorder is less concerned with the disorder’s side effects due to the condition’s overpowering nature. Bulimia is not only a serious condition in and of itself, but its side effects can also cause a series of medical complications that exacerbate the person’s life now and in the future. Physical and Psychological Effects In addition to the psychological impact, bulimia’s side effects can cause irreparable physical damage. Restrictive, compulsive, and weight controlling behaviors like self-induced purging and inappropriate use of laxatives or diuretics can cause a multitude of other health complications and medical conditions.

What are some side effects of Herbalife products?
If you are planning for a weight loss regime from Herbalife, i must say.... Pleeeease Stopp!In my 3.5years of experience of working in network marketing industry, I have personally observed that more than half of the distributors are focussing on making money by fooling people rather than on promoting health in the correct way.Being a nutritionist, I am not against food supplements for any of the health issues. But friends, plz don’t follow their advertisements blindly. Most of the companies/products are bogus.Now talking about Herbalife's weight loss regime, it typically works like you have to completely forget eating normal food. Your daily meal will consist of two different kinds of shakes, and some capsule/tablet twice a day. You will be allowed to eat certain low calorie fruits(no citrus fruits at all), boiled vegetables, salad, and in the worst case, 1chapati.You will end up losing weight more than expected and very rapidly. And soon after your course is over or you attain the desired weight, you will be deficient of so many vitamins and minerals in the body that your body will stop recognising these nutrients once you switch to normal diet. As a result of which, all these essential nutrients will get converted to fats over the time, and in no more than 4–5months of normal diet, you will end up gaining more weight than ever before. That's all. So choose wisely.Fyi.. The best weight loss product Leangard in the world is produced by our very own Indian MNC Samj Direct from Indian herbs. You can google about it.
Why do people say it’s unhealthy when I take laxatives as an easy way to lose weight?
There are several different types of laxatives. Most types of laxatives are disruptive to the body and have bad side effects if you overuse them. Laxatives aren’t meant to be used long-term.For example, lubricant laxatives will absorb certain types of vitamins out of your intestines. If you use it occasionally, the side effect is no worse than skipping a meal. If you keep using it, you’re depriving your body of the vitamins it needs to function properly, and you can get various illnesses and diseases that the vitamins prevent.Other types of laxatives pull water out of other parts of your body to soften your stool. If you keep pulling water out of the rest of your body, you can dehydrate. Your body doesn’t work very well when it’s dehydrated. Symptoms of overusing laxatives can start at simple gas, abdominal cramping, nausea, rectal bleeding and get worse from there.Some laxatives cause weight loss because they get rid of water from your body. Most of the weight you lose from those types of laxatives is due to a loss of water, not fat. You might weigh less, but that’s water weight you lost. You’re not any healthier than before you took the laxative, even though you weighed more before, and you have just as much fat as before. Taking too many laxatives is more likely to turn a body from a grape into a raisin, not into an hourglass.In spite of the hype, weight loss is a bad thing. Most of the time, for the vast majority of human history, weight loss is a symptom of illness and disease. Lots of things that are unhealthy and make people sick cause weight loss. Trying to take shortcuts in “losing weight” makes a lot of people even worse in the long run. People who lost weight using shortcuts usually gain back even more weight in a few years and end up making themselves fatter and sicker than obese people who never tried to lose weight at all.Instead of trying to “lose weight”, we should try to “achieve and maintain a healthy weight” by practicing healthy habits, including eating right, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, and getting a healthy amount of physical activity. Shortcuts that make you sick can help you lose weight briefly, but they usually make people worse in the long run. You have to live in your body for the rest of your life. You can’t just lose weight short-term and call it done. Using shortcuts to “lose weight” often results in getting sicker sooner and dying faster.

Effects anal sex have on the bowels?
Anal sex is no more a "perversion" than oral sex and I'd like a show of hands to count all the men out there that would be willing to do without their BJs. It is also untrue that anal will cause a woman's sphincter muscle to become loose and that she won't be able to control her bowel movements. That's just another old wives tale that should be retired along side masturbation causing blindness. It just isn't true so lets stop repeating it already. So long as some common sense is applied, along with lubrication, there isn't anything unhealthy or wrong with anal sex. Anal isn't for everyone and I would never suggest that there was anything wrong with the men or women who don't enjoy it. All I would like is that the favor be returned and that those women who do enjoy anal not be stigmatized. We've been called perverted and sick. Some claim that we're being forced to say that we enjoy it. Deal with it already, some women do like anal sex, I'll admit that I'm one, and there isn't anything wrong with us. Different strokes I guess but people would do well to stop looking down on others because of their likes and dislikes. In the day or so after anal sex, especially if he has finished up inside you, the ejacualte can have the effect of a mini enema. If you are feeling this for more than a day or two at most I would speak with a doctor. A person's bowels can respond to many different things and not all of them are physical. In the short term anal can cause a loose stool but nothing dramatic and it has nothing to do with the sphincter muscle. If you take a hot protien injection back there your next bathroom trip has just been prelubricated, that's all. If you two are making an erotic weekend out of it and he makes all of his deliveries in your backdoor, (Ah, to be young again) then the effects might last a little longer but if she is feeling the effects a full week later then I would speak with a doctor to be on the safe side. Best of luck
