Lax straight after a binge or how long do you wait?

I always take lax the day after a binge because I've always thought they couldn't do much if the food has not been digested yet, am I wrong? Do you take them right after a binge? If so, is it better this way? Does it change anything?

I take them the morning after binging. Never take laxatives and then binge, you'll get the worst cramps. And laxatives work in the large intestine so the food has been digested by then.

Thanks, that's what I do too! I was wandering because on here I have read of people who take them straight after a binge and I don't know it doesn't make much sense since the food has not been digested?
