Gross and kind of weird but...

So I know this might be TMI (thats why its labeled the way it is) however i had to take a saline laxitive and let me say it works really well, now my question is i know one day isnt a big deal but am i losing all my nutrients from eating? I know in the long run one day doesnt make a difference but ive heard the side effects can last a few day, my fear is that just like after you get the flu and nothing stays in your body..your starving when your done and are more apt to make bad choices....So is this going to flush my system like that or no?

    When you say they work what do you mean? Like they get things moving or for weight loss? The foods need to be in your stomach for at very least an hour before you use a laxitive. It's the same with medications. If you don't allow it to sit of an hour it won't be absorbed.
