Diarrhea after using Somas

I've been clean for a month and I still have Diarrhea Issues. I was taking up to 6 somas a day and 6 Vicodin when will the Diarrhea go away? I have been taking Imodium and it helps, but when I stop taking Imodium I have Diarrhea  again.  I've had no other withdraw systems.

I would suggest that you stop using Imodium, because, it is also a  opiate that does not cross brain/blood barrier so it only acts on the opiate receptors in the gut, but what you essentially is doing is you keep putting your intestines into withdrawals over and over again. So stop Imodium forever, start with fiber rich diet, dark black tea helps a lot as well as pomegranate juice, white rice. Try this this for a few weeks and I promise you will see a difference. Let me know how that works.

Eventually, once you are completely opiate free for a few months (including Immodium) you will see a great difference in all your body functions. Don't forget my other recommendations of dark black tea, pomegranate juice (real) and white rice.

Benefiber is good, or any other OTC simple fiber pills that you need to drink with water. They will actually block you up if you do not consume the suggested amount of fluids.
