stomach

hi y'all:Rabb here closing down on day 4.i've been feeling really crappy,but my mmain concern at this point is my lack of having (belief it or not)diarrhea!!i have never gone 2-3 days off the opiates and not gotten the big D for a couple of days at least.now day 2 i think had 1 bout and none since!now my stomach feels as though it's blocked at the bottom with pressure.called pharmacist about taking a laxative,but he suggested a softner in stead.i know it's comming,i just wish it would cause i think it would take some pressure off my stomach.not a pleasant subject i know,but has anyone else exp.this?or suggestions?Rabb

Hi Rabb..You could try a glycerin suppository or even a couple to get things going,You will probably get loose stools soon anyway so a laxative is probably not necessary.Glycerin is only a lubricator and does not cause dependence.Congrats on day  4 .Keep it up and post often.
