How To Reverse The Adverse Effect Of Y LAX Tablets That Has Caused Severe Loose Motions?
Hi,
I am having trouble with My Bowel movements. Sometimes I get constipation and then sometimes indigestion. After about 8 years of fighting with acne I realized stomach is the culprit behind it. I tried Aloe vera gel of ramdev and it just cleared everything up including bowel regulation. However after sometime symptoms appeared again and so did acne.
Recently I went to a homeopathic doctor and he prescribed me Y LAX and asked me to take it 3 times a day. Since that day I am having loose motions. Every 2-3 hours I have to go to toilet. Now I have thrown it in dustbin after reading on this forum about Y LAX.
Can you please suggest some medicine to negate the affects of Y LAX. Since I am suffering and everything is going out undigested. Even after having Tea and few biscuits I have to go to toilet.
Not being aware of Y LAX I though it was food poisoining , so did an antibiotic course of 5 days of allopathic medicine as well. Still no relief. Then I did some searching on google and though Y LAX was actual culprit.
Please advise what should I do at present and for future to cure my stomach problem.

Dear patient,
Thanks for the query. Most likely, you are experiencing post-diarrhea syndrome, in which the bowel, after having repeated movements over a course of time, has increased turnover of the epithelial cells that line the intestine and are responsible for absorbtion; this happens more commonly after an infection but can also be seen with laxative abuse.
The most important measure for you is to keep well hydrated. AVOID all laxatives to allow your intestine to heal and regenerate the cells; gradually, things should get better as your body heals.
Hope that is useful, wish you the best,
