I agree, e-lax is not a good idea on a regular basis. If all else has falled you ask your dr about Miralax. Its a prescription laxative, but its an osmatic laxative, it works by pulling water into the colon unlike the e-lax which is a harsh stimulate laxative. Its still possible to become dependant on miralax but I've taked it four 4 years and it still works great!
