Hi, I am day 19 clean from 8 year daily opiate addiction, am lifelong alcoholic,( although I haven't drank in weeks) , and until the recent change in FDA rules on amounts of APAP in Hydrocodone /APAP formulations, was using cold water extraction to crush and filter APAP out of Hydro pills (mainly 10/660's) as have had high alt in past (80's 90's)now alt-42 lipase-78 , so not bad, but have been having terrible stomach issues starting aprox. 6 months before detox.Since second week of of detox stomach problems have become worse, I have been to doctor and now GI and am scheduled for upper/lower barium & xrays tomorrow.
My question is utilizing liquid after filtered (R.O.A. by ingestion) and quantifying amount to ML. could this of damaged my stomach lining or something else, I have been honest with doctors but they are always in such a hurry they either don't acknowledge my question, or don't seem to understand, which I have a hard time believing a MD. of any type would not know APAP, is only water soluble to 8 mg. per ML. and opiate is not water soluble , at least that is what my research has shown, I know I was throwing away huge balls of APAP filtering 250 MG. of 10/660 Hydro pills, and could get the quantification to about 20.MG. per 5 ML. although realizing some was lost during process, at least that's what it felt like compared to just ingesting whole pills.
I have a strong desire to be clean and am afraid I might of hurt myself doing this over last few years, and if this is dangerous I really think that should be made aware to people, and would really appreciate your opinion on this.
Thank You
