Curious

Ok guys...I have to ask this.  I know that opiates make you not be able to go number two.  Sometimes I don't go for 8 days at a time.  I get horrible stomach pains!!  I eat prunes...because I thought that helps.  What else can I do because I am really bloated and uncomfortable!!

Go to walmart and get a little green bottle that they make you drink before you have surgery.

I think I know what you are talking about...it made me puke before.  Um...its on the tip of my tongue.  I have taken like ducolax and womans laxative and I thought I was going to die!!!  My stomach hurt so bad!!!  I know they make you go but I can't go through that pain again.  What about that anema thing?  My boyfriend said he would do that for me but does it hurt?

I have this same issue... I didn't have good bowel habits before opiates so they are really bad now... i take 1500mgs of Liquid Calcium/Magnesieum.... also if that doesn't work fiber pills everynight before bed.. the cal/mag works well though..

I take FiberCon pills every day but they don't even seem to help.  I go poop...but just not often.  And when I do..it is only like really small pieces.  Sorry...I don't mean to be gross but I need to know this

Does an enema hurt?  I am so scared of pain.  Go figure after all these damn pills I take but I really am.  The enema will clean me right out right?  What about that thing that movie stars do?  Its a colon something...they clean you right out and you lose like 10lbs.

mine was the same way.. need to go but it ends up being like a rabbit... the calcium/magnesium liquid I got at the heath food store really helped and it comes in flavors like strawberry... if I need that kind of assistance I take 3 tablespoons before bed.. taste like yogurt..
