Angel	Hi they are known to, but in some bad cases they dont. I find if i drink loads of diet coke then ill beable to go in a matter of minutes. As it causes laxative effect if you drink a few glasses. My dad was suffereing for days with it, he even go some Senokot which is mainly full of prunes and wat not. But this didnt work, So i told him my method, just have a few glasses of diet coke, and believe it or not it worked like i said it would. Its worth giving it a try. Just dont drink too much or you will wont beable to get of the loo. About 3 250ml glasses should do. Chewing gum helps also anything sugar free. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
