Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Anji, hello!! I can't take laxatives at all because my gi doctor says that I have melanosis of my colon probably due to much laxative use before I started doing herbal therapy. he says that if uses anymore laxatives then my colon can become lazy. I don't need anymore other health problems....I also used alot of aloe vera and that i see is a laxative. I don't want to take anymore chances until i get better...but now i know...THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 No problem. I just wanted to clear up the confusion about dandelion. You will actually find that almost any herb that helps the digestive system could be called a laxative since they will help the GI tract work more efficiently. I'm not sure that you can have your herb and eat it too! LOL Anyway - I shan't intrude any more. BTW - you may notice that I am rightly known as the " typo queen " !
