Can taking diarrhea medicine help you lose weight?

1. It will cause the gastrointestinal tract to lose its activity.

If the stomach and intestines are not active, they will lose their absorption ability. Don’t think this is a good thing. If the stomach and intestines are not active, not only will they be unable to absorb carbohydrates and fats, but some essential vitamins, calcium, protein and other nutrients will not be absorbed at all.

If the human body lacks calcium, it will cause bone deformation and easy breakage. If it lacks vitamins, it will cause hair loss and facial peeling. If it lacks protein, it will cause muscle relaxation and weakness.

2. The gastrointestinal tract loses its activity and cannot be restored.

The process of gastrointestinal aging and loss of activity is irreversible. We have seen that some centenarians have become dry and thin after their gastrointestinal aging and loss of activity. Currently, there is no medical research that can restore this.

Laxatives are different from ordinary stomach upsets. They are artificially synthesized products and are much more irritating to the human gastrointestinal tract than ordinary spicy and cold foods. Laxatives are generally only used in special medical situations and cannot be used as a means of weight loss.

3. Decreased immune function.

Long-term malnutrition will reduce the body's immune function, such as a decrease in white blood cells and a decrease in the number of antibodies in the body, because these functions require nutritional support, and if the stomach and intestines do not absorb nutrients, they will naturally go on strike.

Over time, a common cold can kill you.

In fact, health is the most important thing in life. Being fat does not necessarily mean being unhealthy, it just means being at a sub-healthy level. If you are willing to spend money, then go for surgery; if you can endure hardship, then exercise; if you are neither willing to spend money nor can endure hardship, then just be fat with a clear conscience.

Using laxatives to lose weight is harming your body and it is worse than staying fat. At the same time, I would like to remind you that many of the laxative teas and weight loss drinks available on the market contain laxative ingredients, so don't buy them.
