PLEASE help her ASAP! I started taking laxatives, not to lose weight but because I wasnt going, and now im virtually dependent on them and so will she be. It is a hellish way to live, not being able to control your own body. Her colon will not function without them, and it was be a disaster. Seriously please help me and tell her how much nerve damage she is doing to her colon/stomach. It is a cry for help.
