"Lazy bowel syndrome may occur if you use laxatives frequently, causing your bowels to become dependent on them for proper function. Laxative use can also lead to other problems, including poor absorption of vitamins and other nutrients and damage to your intestinal tract."

That from the Mayo Clinic.

Then, on the other hand, many CRSs recommend using Miralax, and continue using it, so... I use Milk of Magnesia, and I take a vitamin every day, just in case. I would not know how to change my lifestyle now and risk being constipated all over again. I have IBS-D and IBS-C, so I never really know!
