Stool Softner Dependency ? Posted: 08-10-07 12:34pm


I suffer from mild constipation, especially now since I've been eating more calcium because of my low bone density. I recently have been taking the stool softener Colace, and was wondering if it is safe to take everyday. Is there any risk of dependency with stool softeners?

What's it made of? Fibre is 100% safe but if there's an intestinal stimulant present, you'll want to be careful. Those can be addictive.
