Laxatives
I recently started taking (mineral oil) laxatives in an attempt to lose weight. Which was probably not such a good idea. After a few days of taking more than then the reccomended amount , when i went to the bathroom an orange oily liquid came out (along with urine and stuff) So, what does this mean? Is it bad? Or no big deal?
Thanks. (:
Thanks. (:

You're welcome! Can you ask your parent(s)/guardian if they will set up an appointment for you to go in to a doctor for a physical? You could ask the doctor for those blood tests like the thyroid function, kidney function and liver function and also for tips on a healthy way to shed any unhealthy extra pounds if he says your body fat percentage is higher than the healthful range. Also, your profile states your age as 20, so that should be edited!
I think they had me do something like that prior to surgery or something (small bottle of castor oil or something). But, may I make a suggestion? Since this is something you are greatly concerned about, I would recommend asking your doctor to test your liver function and kidney function to see if they are fine. They should test those at some point anyways, so why not now?
Okay, Thank you so much (: I have 1 other question , I drank an entire bottle of laxative in about 3 days . Anything I should be worried about? Or is it again no big deal?
As SurgilMenopause stated, you are in no life-threatening danger.

If you are really overweight it may pay to have a visit to an endochronologist. Ocasionally obesity is a hormonal problem.

I'd recommend you talk to your doctor about your desire to lose weight. Doctors who care about their patients are happy to make safe recommendations about steps you can take to shed pounds, provided you are above recommended weight for optimum health. They have a certain healthful range of fat percentage they go by and there is a way to calculate what that is. You may also want to get your thyroid function tested, to be sure a sluggish thyroid is not slowing your metabolism, causing you to have extra pounds.
