So I have a long history of abusing laxatives but have been off them for a long time, I keep some in the medicine cabinet as it keeps me sane knowing there is some there.
About 5 weeks ago I got a really bad case of diarrhoea and this didn't clear up I lost a stone and a half, couldn't eat without going to the toilet. Backwards and forwards to the doctor. Couldn't find a reason for it, it started to slow down and clear up BUT, I became paranoid about putting the weight back on as I need to loose weight and struggle to do so. So I have started to take laxatives again because nobody in the family or at work thinks it's unusual for me to be going more frequently as 'it's still the bug' I can hide in plain site. I'm scared though as I realise it's the thin edge of the wedge as I have already started upping my dose to get my required results and limiting my food intake, I can't believe I'm back here again.
