sounds like your stools are just a bit out of wack. a laxative can cause diarrhea so that part is normal. the question is why did you think you needed one? to get your stools back on track increase your daily amount of fiber. that means more fruit veggies whole grains and beans in your diet. if you start eating these at every meal you should see an improvment in a few days to a werek. if you just can't stomach those types of foods there are plenty of otc supplements that are inexpensive and and work well for most people. ask your pharmacist to show you some examples. if your problems last longer than a month or you notice black tar like stools see your doctor.
