Frequent use of laxatives in use for weight loss may become addictive. The body and mind may become dependent upon the laxatives to produce bowel motility. More damaging, may be the results of laxative overuse, such as malnutrition, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It is best to only use laxatives for occasional treatment of constipation and not as a weight loss method.
