It’s going to depend on the type and the dosage, but hopefully you can modiffy this to your case:
If you take more than one which is what I’m guessing, slowly ease off. Say you take 3, today take your normal 2 and replace the 3rd with 1tblsp of olive oil(natural laxative) continue for about a week. Nexxt week replace he 2nd with like eating 2 tblsp of flax seed(another one) and only be takin the 1st laxative. A week later rplace your last me with another natural laxativ(east to google) by then you should be taking olive oil flaxseed and whatever else you choose. Start to learn how to incorporate these in meals(eg: flaxseed in sauces or cereals, olive oil and vinegar on salad, etc)
Oh and taking olive oil can seem gross, plug your
