    It won't kill you but you will feel really bad and dehydrated.

    Hi maggie36043,

    We note from a recent post which you have made to our forum that you had some concerns when you took 14 laxatives. This is not usually serious and we hope you're okay. If you haven't already done so, we would recommend you speak with your GP, or any other healthcare professional who knows you, in order to discuss how you feel. They can offer you some further advice, help and support with this.

    Kindest regards,

    Patient
