If they get lightheaded when standing up, that could be a red flag.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the primary risks of laxative abuse is dehydration, said Perkins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Part of how laxatives work is they take excess water from your body and help give you a bowel movement, which can cause dehydration,&#8221; the doctor said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/weight-loss-medications-ozempic-wegovy-what-know-before-stop-taking-them\"><strong><u>WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS OZEMPIC AND WEGOVY: WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU STOP TAKING THEM<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pulling the excess water [out of the body] can also cause you to lose electrolytes like sodium and potassium, which you need for basic bodily functions,&#8221; she went on. &#8220;You may also feel fatigued.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Those with chronic medical issues <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/heart-health\"><u>involving the heart<\/u><\/a> could be at an even higher risk, Perkins added, because electrolytes are very important for cardiac function and laxative abuse can exacerbate those issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It can also cause issues with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/want-more-accurate-blood-pressure-reading-try-lying-down-taken-study-suggests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blood pressure control<\/a> if you&#8217;re dehydrated,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/diabetes\"><u>People with diabetes<\/u><\/a> can also be at risk if their use of laxatives creates issues with glucose control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Above all, it is important to stay hydrated and absorb nutrients, the doctor advised.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you abuse laxatives, you decrease the time your body can absorb those nutrients, which can also cause vitamin deficiencies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/stress-may-be-the-culprit-behind-crohns-disease-study-finds\"><strong><u>STRESS MAY BE THE CULPRIT BEHIND CROHN\u2019S DISEASE, STUDY FINDS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Abusing laxatives can have serious health consequences, including electrolyte imbalances, gastrointestinal issues and dependency, Meyer cautioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you suspect someone is abusing laxatives, encourage the person to seek help from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/healthy-living\/health-care\"><u>health care professional<\/u><\/a>,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>To promote digestive health without laxatives, the first rule of thumb is to maintain proper hydration, Perkins told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re not urinating every one to two hours, you probably aren&#8217;t getting enough fluids,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>And not all beverages are created equal. Perkins emphasized the need to stick to hydrating fluids.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Caffeinated beverages cause more frequent urination, even if you&#8217;re not properly hydrated,&#8221; she said. &#8220;To move your bowels, you need water, as the colon likes to use excess water to move the bowels.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\/irritable-bowel-syndrome-study\"><strong><u>IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME MAY NOT BE ALL IN YOUR HEAD<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to eat a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/nutrition-and-fitness\/nutrition\"><u>proper, fiber-rich diet<\/u><\/a> to keep your bowel movements normal, Perkins noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Constipation is connected to digestion,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Minimize foods that cause constipation, such as processed foods and sugary sodas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re feeling constipated, taking a look at how you eat and drink is a good place to start incorporating changes to find relief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meyer suggests increasing fiber intake by consuming more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/food-drink\/food\/healthy-foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fruits, vegetables, whole grains<\/a> and legumes.<\/p>\n<p>Probiotic supplements can help relieve constipation for some individuals, the experts said, as they promote healthy gut flora.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another thing people don&#8217;t always think about when it comes to constipation is exercise, according to Perkins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you finish exercising, your blood flow rushes back to help you move bowels and get rid of waste,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Moving helps activate your gastrointestinal system, so if you&#8217;re dealing with constipation, getting exercise is also a good idea.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Laxatives should not be used continuously \u2014 and they should not be relied upon as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/nutrition-and-fitness\/weight-loss\"><u>weight loss <\/u><\/a>mechanism, Perkins warned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are trying to lose weight, normal bowel movements matter, but focusing only on that is dangerous,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You need to eat properly, hydrate and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/mental-health\/stress-and-anxiety\"><u>manage your stress<\/u><\/a>.
