problems for lax abuse

i have abused laxatives for 13 years. my stomach makes intense noises, i vomit if i od. i am up to between 9-15 a day. i work out every day, i only eat protein. will i need a new stomach? i told my dr. once when i was bleeding, he seemed unconcerned, told me i had internal hemorrhoids. can i kill myself this way?


This discussion is related to Dependency on laxatives......

Are you looking at trying to kill yourself? that's my question.
Taking laxatives really don't help you lose weight, but you are additve to them. Most of them put on the box, if you take them more then a week you will become dependant. You body now relies on the to make your stools pass. Honestly you need to stop.  Try very mild things to eat at first, then add say metamucil to your diet. You are overdosing on the laxitive.I can't reallly say what the repercussions are, but you have to stop. As well, eating only a protein diet, you're malnourished as well. You need to eat properly, it's obvious that you are bleeding as a direct result.You need if possible seek out a nutritionist, and go back and admit to the amount of laxitive to your doctor.
