What happens during the disease - stimulant laxatives
Stimulant laxatives work by increasing the movement of the intestines, which helps to soften and increase the bulk of stools. this in turn stimulates the muscles of the intestine to contract, which helps to move the stool through the intestines and out of the body. overuse of stimulant laxatives can lead to electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and damage to the lining of the intestine, potentially leading to an increased risk of infection and inflammation.
