Anyone who has ever suffered from constipation knows how it can interfere with daily life and even impact upon quality of life. It can make you feel uncomfortable and bloated and can effect your emotional life.

When constipation becomes a problem, people often turn to laxatives for relief. But not all laxatives work the same way.

Laxatives can be divided into several main types: dietary fiber and bulking agents, osmotic and saline laxatives, plant-derived purgatives, and laxatives that stimulate the large intestinal muscle. There are osmotic laxatives, bulking agents, plant-derived purgatives and synthetic stimulants.
