OPIATES CAUSING SEVERE CONSTIPATION

Digestive health

Hi,

I would be very grateful to hear from anyone who has had the butans patches and suffered constipation. I drink quite a bit of water, Take 2 sachets of Laxido every day, plus lots of fresh fruit, loads of vegetables in the evening and have just bought some prunes. My bowels seem to have gone to sleep. I have absolutely no desire to go, I haven't any pain from not going but it's been 5 days again and I just don't know what else I can do.....Does anyone recommend fibrogel? Some say it can do more harm than good. so haven't taken any yet. I need the patches as my pain is very bad so coming off them isn't really an option although I will probably have to do without them if this continues. I have used suppositories but I can't realistically go on doing this every few days. I'm desperate for advice please...Thank you

Hi as far as constipation goes you might consider Psyllium which I've used now and again for years and always does the trick. As we're all different for more info best you do a Google search and also Wikipedia first, but you'll find it on sale at any reasonable health shop....

Hope this helps

John
