"What I am about to write is unsolicited, not recompensed, nor asking for freebies. I am 81 years old and have been troubled by constipation and lack of a dependable laxative or medication for years. About 4 months ago, I started taking Extra Strength Senokot with an 'oh well' attitude. Boy, was I shocked and surprised! From the very start, I began having bowel motions the very next day that were well-formed and complete. My success with Senokot gladdened an old man's heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So much advertising is crap (pun intended). Your product works."

"Dehydration can cause constipation. So if you're dehydrated and then take a laxative, it WILL cause cramping. You got to keep in mind, in order for laxatives to work, it has to pull fluid from your body in order to soften your stool. That's the reason your poo is watery. Dehydration alone causes leg cramps and dizziness. So, making sure you drink plenty of water before and after taking a laxative. I would highly recommend it. It will help with preventing and easing bad side effects."
