"I have chronic IBS-C, and I typically go about 3 days without a BM, and I find that normal. Well, this past week, I could not get any relief. I tried Miralax, flaxseed, Metamucil, Fleet glycerin suppositories, and liquid suppositories to no avail. I have taken Dulcolax in the past, and it has always woken me up at the 6-hour mark in screaming pain. It feels like I drank lava. I can feel myself about to faint because of the pain. So, I decided I needed to try a senna lax, and OH MY GOD. I was in a panic last night thinking about my terrible experience and waiting for the cramps to set in. While I did cramp, it’s been way less brutal, and I actually had a normal BM this morning. I will definitely be taking this again if I ever need some extra assistance. Please don’t use this product long-term as your body can become dependent. Now, if this product made you feel absolutely terrible, I suggest trying the Dulcolax. My grandma swore by it and didn't like Ex-Lax. Everyone’s body reacts differently!"

"I took Ex-Lax yesterday morning, and a few hours later, screaming with pain. I've puked and puked from the pain in my belly. Will never use again, and it's been 36 hours and still no bowel movement, just horrible pain."

"This product worked absolute wonders for me. I was constipated for weeks, and then finally, this morning, I birthed an actual python out of my body. I would be on an Ex-Lax commercial if given the opportunity. Sweet relief."

"Don’t use this stuff. It’s been 36 hours since I took these, and I am having the worst stomach cramps of my life. I had to go to the ER yesterday because of how bad it is. Also, it barely even makes you go, like, out of all of the times I went, like 5 times something came out. Just don't take this stuff."
