What would happen if i took laxatives and imodium at the same time????

OMG... you didn't did you? I think if you were to do that you would have the stomach ache without the pooping... I think! Otherwise you may tear your stomach or intestines and then you'll have to go to the hospital... please be careful!

Combining the two just doesn't make much sense to me! I wouldn't even consider it.

Why are you asking this on a site that is to promote wellness and not support eating disordered behavior? Of course it's not a good idea to do what you are asking..so please don't.

Hi there, the only reason I think someone would take these tablets in a simular time period, is if they have taken laxatives and then changed there mind about the effects they wanted.

I cant speak from experiance but after a little research ( spoke to a friend who is doctor) he said it would cause alot of pain and stomach cramps, and could make you feel very unwell for a short period, whilst both drugs are working within your system.

Ps. Why do you ask, what triggered you to ask, what effect did you think it would have. If you want to speak about this more privatley you could send me a message, to avoid causing triigers for anyone else.. BUT TO ANYONE IT HAS TRIGGERD IT WILL JUST CAUSE YOU IMMENSE PAIN AND NOTHING ELSE.

sorry, not at all helpful, just wondering whats imodium?

deleted_user 01/03/2008

Immodium is what you take if you have diarrahoea, to block you up. So Not a good idea to take with laxatives. Oppistie effect.

deleted_user 01/03/2008

why would you even ask

I think the only thing that would be achieved is that your body would be as confused as your mind, come on, you know better than that, get some positive thinking going, stop popping pills and start positive self talk, email me whenever you like, but dont post this stuff x
