Osmotic laxatives draw water from intestimes to soften stools,  eg. Dupahalac,stimulant laxatives  stimulate intestinal movements, example bisacodyl. No laxative is good for long term use as it is habit forming . Take more of fresh green vegetables,  fruits like pappaya. Avoid fatty, sugary food. Drink more water, glassful of hot water after sleeping and then after waking up. Do yoga regularly,  particularly exercises of abdomen and pelvic parts which help stimulate intestines.

Osmotic laxatives work by drawing water into the colon to ease stool passage. Stimulant laxatives work by triggering bowel muscles to contract and push stool out.

Osmotic Laxatives are substances which draw water from intestines… increase volume and allow to pass stool easily as stools get softer Stimulant laxatives are those which stimulate muscles and dilate… allow stools to pass
