Ex-Lax Maximum Strength Stimulant Laxative Constipation Relief Pills for Occasional Constipation, Gentle Laxatives - 48 Count

I bought this for postpartum as I was having constipation issues even 2 weeks after having my baby. I could go a week without pooping and I wasn’t in pain, but it was concerning to me and I was sore enough down there so I didn’t want to add more hemorrhoids to the mix by straining to poop, so I knew I needed a laxative of some sort to coax things along more gently. Well all I can say is be careful with these! I thought since I was going a week between poops, that I should take 2 pills. I encourage you to start with 1! The first time I took 2, it wasn’t so bad. I had 1 bowel movement some hours later (maybe 6 hours?) and it was fine. I see now that I was lulled into a false sense of security. A week later I still needed help to poop again. I took another 2 like last time and, oh boy, did I have a tough time. I was up and down to the bathroom at least 5 times and my stomach was in shambles. I felt like I had self inflicted diarrhea. On top of caring for my newborn. I was carrying him into the bathroom in his bouncer with me every half hour, subjecting his innocent nose to Chernobyl levels of diarrhea. Not sure if it was something I ate along with the ExLax but I was regretting my decision to take 2 tablets, and was even googling how to reverse the side effects of laxatives (lol). This went on until late at night when I scarfed down a bunch of apple sauce and that seemed to help slow things down again! I would hate to be caught out in public when these pills kick in! You better find a bathroom QUICK!

This product works great! If your constipated and can't get it moving along, this product will help you out. I'd recommend to anyone who is having such issues and are looking for a laxative.
