Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative and causes mucosal damage on long term use. You just might have had this which in turn is the cause for your bleed. The bleeding and mucosal damage are likely to heal in a few days, so do not worry. But I suggest you to reduce / stop laxative as early as possible.

The use of Senna and Bisacodyl is only meant for short term laxative therapy, and is not advised for prolonged usage. They have their own group of side effects. In the background of depression/anxiety/palpitations that you might have - its important that you stop these laxatives right away.

You could use high fiber diets to normalize bowels. And cut your stress with proven methods. These lifestyle changes will benefit you.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely

Thanks for the reply.

I understand your intention to fight back in spite of your concerns.

Yes, you would do a lot better if you slowly wean off rather than just ending abrupt use of the laxatives. As you are already eating healthy, it would help if load yourself with thin cucumbers, watermelon, bananas and likes of food. High dosage is the best - probably you will get a full list of foodstuffs in a nutrition book than myself.

High fiber will never harm you. And try yoga/meditation/exercise for your stress. Go on a healthy daily routine - change your lifestyle.

Wish you good health. Write back for further explanations.

Sincerely,
