So you don't go too much. Going too much is bad for you, im not saying twice a day is bad, but 4 times might be, because your body may not be absorbing nutrients from the food you eat because its being "rushed" out by the laxative. The use of laxatives as a way to lose or control weight is not only dangerous, but irrational. Continued laxative use can cause bloating, cramping, dehydration, electrolyte disturbances and imbalances, cardiac arrhythmias, irregular heart beat and heart attack, renal problems, and death.
