Stimulant laxatives(senna or bisacodyl). These work by stimulating the muscles in your bowel to contract more often and with increased force. These work more quickly than other types of laxative. If you take them at night you are likely to have a bowel movement in the morning. Stimulant laxatives can cause abdominal pain.
