Addiction occurs when someone attempts to treat himself suffered chronic constipation or trying to lose weight with laxatives.
Here are the steps that can be taken to reduce laxative dependence.
1. Make a list of all laxatives are often consumed and the frequency of application. This list will give you an idea of how much the total dose of laxative use.
2. Next, start stop or reduce the use of laxatives harshest.
Milder laxative can still be consumed. This is to avoid gut 'shocked' due to the sudden cessation of all laxatives.
3. Once the body begins to adjust, reduce the dose of laxative in half.
This effort obviously takes time. Especially if you take laxatives regularly every day.
4. When the body has to adjust to the new dose, reduce daily dose in half again.
Keep repeating this process until taking laxatives frequency of not less than two weeks.
The entire process can take up to several months, but in the end, be more healthy colon.
5. In addition to gradually reduce the dose of laxatives, also multiply drinking water, eat more fiber, and exercising regularly.
All three of the above can accelerate the recovery of the bowel to return to normal work.
6. Such as recovery from other addictions, laxative addiction recovery can be a tough business and make frustrated.
