No no please avoid laxative. You may be suffering form constipation but it is due to insufficient intake.This laxative may cause some problem as there is not enough food to be digested and come out.
First you should think why loss of appetite. There are plenty physical as well as psychological reasons for loss of appetite. Are you in stress,suffering fro low mood ,lack of pleasure in routine and pleasurable activities, then you may have depression.
There may be some hormonal disturbance like thyroid.
Is there anything in your mind that you should slim and your weight must not be increased
You first consult general doctor for examination and investigation and later on if he feel so he /she can refer to you psychiatrist if needed.
Some appetizer syrup can be helpful.
