The reason for taking a laxative is to loosen stool because the body absorbed too much water in the digestion process and your body needs a certain amount of water for you to defecate, too much water and. . . Well, I'm sure you get where I'm going with that. If you are thinking about taking it to lose weight it is not going to work, the only weight you will lose is water weight and NO it will NOT make you look thinner you will just be miserable all the time and if your wondering how I know this a friend of mine had a similar problem. (Reyvin, if it makes you feel better about it).

Is red wine a laxative?

Your body has to work hard to get all out all the alcohol that you consume, which is essentially a toxin. The metabolic processes that breaks down alcohol also encourages the body to speed up its excretion.

Is molasses a laxative?

Yes, in certain doses and depending on your sensitivity. If you have one BM a day then you will need three or more tablespoons to produce a laxative effect. If your BMs are less frequent then you are definitely constipated and will need anywhere from a quarter cup (four tbls) to a third cup taken over a period of one hour or less with about twenty four oz of water. Always drink water if taking a laxative. Warm water works best.
