Can narrow stools occur after using Lax-A-Day?

Yes, it is not uncommon for narrow stools to occur after using a laxative like Lax-A-Day. This is because the laxative works by drawing water into the intestines, making the stools softer and less formed, which can result in narrower stools. If this is bothersome to you, you can try spacing out the dosage or taking half the dose until your bowel movements return to normal. If you continue to experience constipation or any significant discomfort, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider.
