Hiya

where can i buy Laxatives? If it just at a chemist how do I ask?

No. I don't want to off myself. I have been drinking too much beer and not eating right.

So I need some help cleaning myself up

[moosehead]

try eating any kind of fruit or lettuce and don't wash it first


or, if you're not in that big of a rush


those little yogurt bottles you see the kids downing like soda pop?? they have laxatives in them

also there's a coconut drink, same think, natural tho

and the aloe juice, but that's sometimes hard to find.

popcorn is good roughage, also fresh fruits and veges washed!! of course!!

good luck!!

ever tried some really strong coffee??

otherwise, the word for laxative is 변비약 = byon-bi-yuck.

so you could say:

변비약 있나요? - byonbiyuck e-na-yo? (do you have any laxatives?)
변비약 좀 주세요 - byonbiyuck jom ju-se-yo. (please give me some laxatives)

don't be embarrased to say it. apparently many girls use it....

All the best!

Just eat some spicy kimchi!

You can get ex-lax at the store I recommended in this thread.

Try making raemon and add like 7 hot peppers to it. Make it insanely, unbearably hot. That'll make you *beep* your brains out.

Then there's always prune juice.

I'm happy to see you guys have this remedy down pat.

This is a crappy thread.

4 of those yogurt drinks on an empty stomach. Never do this before teaching.

Are you looking for a stimulant or a bulk laxative?

[nzerinkorea]

Go in to a chemist and ask for Magcoral. It cost about 9000 won
and is a drink that takes about 6-8 hours to take effect.
It's much better than exlax and my doctor uses it to detox every few months.
Be warned though stay near a toilet and best do it at the weekend when you don't have any plans made.
You will feel much better after it though as it is like a form of colonics without all the disgusting bits.

There are a few Ashana (sp?) Yoga positions you can learn that will help you pass it out. Nothing overly exerting and it won't make you any less of a man.

The easiest one just involves curling up on the floor on your back and rocking back and forth with your hands on your kneecaps.

Just a suggestion. I figured an alternative to "drinking the yogurt crap the kids drink" or "going to a pharmacy and saying 'something something poo something something gross' in Korean" would be nice.
