that's because laxatives causes temporary relief and works by bringing water from everywhere of the body to the intestines to help excretion..but usually destroys the natural mechanism of the gut..you need yes to drink water but fibers are very important to keep the water the longest time in your gut..which helps so...
try getting vegetables and fruits in 5 meals a day and drink 4litres at least of water.
olive oil in th morning ..
