What's here so far

No field note has been written for laxatives yet, so this page doesn't describe what studies found. It lists the study with results for laxatives microbe by microbe, which a field note will draw on.

People take these medicines for reasons that can also go with different gut microbes.

Laxatives can loosen or firm stools, and stool form and transit go with differences in gut microbes on their own.
