Overuse of laxatives tops the list of unhealthy practices because the medication pulls fluid into the intestines to help you go. When you stop the laxative, your body has forgotten what to do naturally. Laxatives become a yo-yo measure to just have a bowel movement.

Overuse of energy drinks are a second unhealthy habit. Increased caffeine stimulates the heart and intestines, making diarrhea inevitable. Then people take meds to control diarrhea, not realizing it can make them constipated, so they go back to laxatives... viscous cycle!


And street drugs, especially unauthorized narcotic use slows the intestines. But this form of constipation does not always resolve with laxatives, and it too becomes a cycle.


Lack of fiber in the diet is a well known cause of bowel troubles.
