Because of that I stopped all pain killers after back surgery in 2009. lots of prunes, senna and colace,
I have this issue every-time I have to use opiods, so I try not to use them longer than I need to . I have a shower shot, which is a small butt plug shaped device that attaches to the shower, and you can use it to do quick enemas, clean up/out etc. Works great. been using one it or something like it since I was in my teens. It helps more than you could imagine. Back in the day I had issues with my stomach, bleeding ulsers etc... in my early teens. Start using this and it all went away, and I've never had an issue since. Plus, I almost never get sick. I attribute that to the fact that I clean out everyday/ no toxins in my body. Sounds weird I know, but actually not as uncommon as one would think.
