We are having our very first snow day here in New Jersey and I want to advise everyone to stay safe and near a toilet on a day like this when you decide to play around with your laxatives. Laxatives are not something to be taken regularly, but if your constipation is fucking up your weekend with your friends and family, it’s time to take action. In general, laxative teas can take anywhere from 4-7 hours to provoke a labor-like contraction that will send you running to the toilet so you don’t deliver a diarrhea mess in your pants. This is why it is always best to drink it either right before bed or first thing in the morning if you do not have any plans that day and will be near a bathroom that you can comfortably destroy. I stress the importance of not taking laxatives everyday because they are habit forming and can fuck up your bowels long term. Take them once a month if needed, but I only resort to them once or twice a year at best. But if you absolutely cannot make an appointment for a gravity colonic, Uncle Lee’s Dieter Drink is the only senna tea that I will take occasionally to ensure a satisfying pile in the bowl. For me, it takes about 6-7 hours to take effect. Cheers!
