also, purging/binging/using laxatives isnt really healthy. i mean, there are safe ways to do it.i try to. i mostly try to avoid binging/purging/laxatives all together, but this is a list of natural laxatives and such, tips on it, etc.

Foods - The following are foods that are natural laxatives. Not all of the foods listed help everyone. Every body is different. If you are allergic to any of the foods listed, then do not eat them:

* Almonds
* Aloe Vera
* Apples/Apple Juice
* Dried apricots
* Bananas
* Basil
* Beets
* Carob
* Celery
* Chicory
* Coconut
* Coffee
* Dandelion
* Dates

Non-Foods - Other types of laxatives can be purchased over the counter in the form of OTC medication. These forms can be in powders, liquids, pills, capsules and tablets. Not all laxatives listed will work on everyone, and again if you are allergic to any ingredient in the laxative, please to not take it.
Bulk-producing agents cause the stool to be bulkier and to retain more water, as well as forming an emollient gel, making it easier for peristaltic action to move it along. They should be taken with plenty of water. Bulk-producing agents have the gentlest of effects among laxatives and can be taken just for maintaining regular bowel movements.

* Metamucil
* Citrucil
* Dietary fiber

Lubricating laxatives make the stool slippery and can also retard colonic absorption of water, softening the stool.

* Mineral oil (may decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and some minerals.)

Hydrating agents cause the intestines to hold more water within, softening the stool. There are two principal types, saline and hyperosmotic.

* Saline
* sodium phosphate (and variants)
* magnesium citrate,
* Milk of magnesia
* Epsom salt

Saline laxatives attract and retain water in the intestinal lumen, increasing intraluminal pressure and thus softening the stool. They will also cause the release of cholecystokinin, which stimulates the digestion of fat and protein. Saline laxatives may alter a patient's fluid and electrolyte balance.
Sulfate salts are considered the most potent. They can work anywhere from 10 minutes to 6 hours.
Stimulant Laxatives such as Ex-Lax and Senna can be dangerous under certain circumstances. Long term use can lead to 'cathartic colon'. Stimulant laxatives act on the intestinal mucosa, or nerve plexus; they also alter water and electrolyte secretion. They are the most severe among laxatives and should be used only in extreme conditions. Castor oil may be preferred when more complete evacuation is required. Castor oil can work in 2 - 6 hours. Bisacodyl suppository can start ot work anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
Be careful when using laxatives. Natural laxatives are the best way to go. If you are constipated for more than 5 days you should see your doctor.
