About the use of Senokot laxatives.

I take a LOT of Senokot laxative pills (8 before bed at night and 7 in the afternoon around 1:00p.m. or 2:00p.m., or at LEAST 2 hours AFTER eating EVERYday). I'm really wondering if the vitamins etc., etc., etc., from the food I eat ALL go to 'waste' (or excreted)??? For example.....I take a 1000IU vitamin D tablet in the mornings and with my dinner.....does ALL of it get excreted from my body at the rate (of laxative pills) I take??? 'Coz I ALSO read somewhere on the net that IF you take laxative pills at least 2 hours AFTER eating or taking your pills.....it DOESSN'T get excreted.....or at LEAST not ALL of it??? If so.....would you know what PERCENTAGE gets retained and absorbed??? Thanks LOADS for answering this BURNING question of mine (I've had for a LOOONG time!!!). I'm 'addicted' to laxative pills.....I've been taking them (at the SAME dosage) for around 20 years now!!! So to tell me to quit or cut down is IMPOSSIBLE!!!
