Can this product have a laxative effect? I have Crohn's disease and that's the last thing I need.

I don't believe it does in my case I make the orange can with fruit juice into gelatin which I cut into squares To eat before dinner and before bed for better sleep and I use the green in my morning smoothy, some days at lunch. I also started out adding a little at a time to avoid any issues.

i think you should bring the ingredients to your doctor to be on the safe side.

For me it does not but I do not have chrons. My husband has a history of IBS and this does not bother his stomach. If anything, it helps heal the gut lining.

I haven't found they help with constipation. I have Crohn's. My doctor recommended I try these to replace Librax which I had taken for years. I haven't had a recent flare of Crohn's so I assume they are as effective. My only complaint is the aftertaste. Moments after taking them, you taste peppermint. Not unpleasant; just odd.

Sorry, I'm currently out of this product and am trying another probiotic. It may be a very helpful product for some but with my digestive issues, it didn't seem to make a difference. You can most likely google it to see the exact ingredients.

the point is that you won't be digesting any of it. It all goes in one end and out the other and it pushes out everything in the way. I have used it for over 20 years. great stuff it becomes indigestible jello. Mixed with their psyllium fiber it pushes out the accumulated rotting semi-digested food with it. Caution: mix with apple juice& # 7 and DRINK VERY FAST before it turns to jello.

I have been using this product for over two months. It has never caused me to have constipation. As a matter of fact, I have had no side effects when using Pur-absorb. It has certainly helped my energy level.....

It causes me to empty my bowels each day, which was not happening before I started taking the product. This could lead to weight lost.

They will not help you with the constipation, you will still have to use laxatives or fiber. What it does help with are abdominal cramps and bloating.

No, it doesn't have that effect on the bowels. It's the only magnesium I've found that doesn't do that.

Yes it will make your stools black, but that's a lot of iron that you're taking. Make sure that you talk to your health care provider about your stools turning black and the amount that you're taking. I do hope that you will only take this for a very short period of time as you may experience other side effects, like constipation, nausea and vomiting. Best of luck, but make sure that you talk to your doctor.

If taken in water/juice it will expand in your stomach. You will not/can not eat as much, thus losing weight will happen. It is an aid for constipation. You get 2 benefits for the price of one. Be Aware: All laxatives can be addictive as with most other things.

It's a bit absurd how off most of these answers are. The inner fillet, just as it implies, contains juice made only from the inner part of the leaf. The whole leaf version includes the part just below the skin that acts as a supposedly powerful laxative and, as such, should help with bowel movements/constipation. Unless you happen to really need a laxative, I'd recommend sticking to the inner fillet version. Jesse Ejsmont almost had a correct answer except, it is not a diuretic, since that would mean it makes you urinate and it's not particularly known to have that effect. I've never needed a laxative and haven't tried the whole leaf version. So, I can't speak for how effective it is. It's a bit absurd how off most of these answers are.

After all the medical articles indicating that Fish Oil was not recommended as a daily supplement ... was essentially a waste of money and might actually harm, I discontinued usage ... I am, however, slightly more constipated.

picture maybe inaccurate, but the product is actual as described. No it doesn't cause constipation. It definitely helps with bowel movements and stomach health

They have a website. Send them an email and ask. I did this for their magnesium supplement. I have crohn's disease and it becomes painful when I stop using Prescript-Assist.

It is a wonderful product and it helps with everything that I eat. It has made a huge difference in how my body now digests food and I don't get stomach cramps anymore. Make sure you take it with every meal. I usually take it when my meal is about 1/2 way finished.

No I don't think so because it works inside your stomach then gets eliminated in your bowels. All the ingredients are plant based.
