Natural laxatives I can use when I'm nauseous / vomiting?!


Question: Natural laxatives I can use when I'm nauseous / vomiting?
My doctor told me to absolutely not take a laxative pill when I'm feeling nauseous and vomiting but natural laxatives such as prunes are okay. Problem is, I threw up right after I tried both prunes and prune juice because they taste disgusting to me. The only natural remedies I've heard are only going to make me throw them back up such as the prunes, salt water, honey water... Is there anything else that could work that isn't gross!?

Try Benefibre - when it's mixed with water you don't taste anything.
Why are you vomiting? What's the cause? How about trying to fix that first?
Your system is obviously out of balance. The other thing is that if you've been vomiting for days you haven't digested anything... so there's nothing to excrete.
Laxative pills create dependance. You won't be able to "go" without them. So if you were relying on this before your vomiting bout that's part of the problem.



You don't puke because things taste nasty. Your tongue and stomach aren't connected in such a fashion. Call him up and tell him that you can't keep things down. This case of constipation is more complicated than it might seem.

EDIT - try high fiber foods if you like, popped popcorn, oatmeal, wheat flakes - but if you haven't crapped in a week and fruit juice is coming back up on you, I would ring that doctor back up. Natural laxatives "Senna" and "aloe juice" etc - are actually very powerful stimulant laxatives and the very LAST thing you want to use. For goodness sakes, try mixing the prune juice with apple juice. Compared to those "natural laxatives" you are so eager to try prune juice doesn't taste bad at all.



Try natural licorice. It is a fairly gentle laxative and most people enjoy the taste.
I should qualify that; get licorice candy made from real licorice. You will find it in natural or health food stores. I even find it in Bulk Barn and places like that.
It should be alright. Hope you feel better.



you do NOT want to take any type of laxative while nauseous, vomiting and loose stool can lead to massive dehydration, which can lead to death, that's why the doctor told you not to take them.



I think you need to address the vomiting first because if you're pooping and vomiting, you'll get dehydrated fast.



You can try the Smooth Move herbal tea. It tastes like chai.

If that's no good, do an enema or suppository.
