Opioids Constipation from opiates

Check out this thread I made a few weeks ago

Also: I'd recommend an enema. I went to the ER one night. Cost me 60$ and got X-ray'd to make sure I didnt have an impacted/obstructed bowel. I was good and then alls they did was tell me to go buy an enema.

Worked wonders i'll tell you that much. Once I got rid of the culprit so to speak, i've been good ever since. Mighta just ate something bad one day, been a bit too dehydrated, etc. and you got a piece that is hard to push out. As it stays stuck in there longer more will build up behind it compounding the issue (because more will be constantly pushing against something that is not giving, meaning even more blockage, etc. circular problem).

Get the enema, suck it up, put it up there, and it'll be smooth sailing again i promise you.

Exercise doesn't always do the trick. I exercise 4-6 times a week and it didnt do dick all for me.
 
i've got micralax enemas at hand - tried one a few hours ago and did nothing, i think either i didn't manage to hold it in long enough or something else.

i managed to get 1 hard stool out, small, but a start, but with a lot of straining.

tomorrow if there's no improvement i'll start to take more drastic measures i guess. i'll just enema my ass until everything falls out of it as disgusting as that sounds.
 
make sure you do the enema correctly.....

further: you gotta hold that shit in as LONG AS YOU CAN.

Took 2 enemas for me too btw. First one cracked the dam, second one tore down the foundations so to speak.

But you gotta seriously hold that shit in (no pun intended) AS LONG AS YOU CAN. Honestly you hold it in until you literally are about to shit yourself. And then, you DO shit yourself.
 
Seriously though, Metamucil makes this water soluble powder form of fiber called "clear and natural" it is 100% natural and works really good. Other brands have an imitation of this, but none of them compare to the "clear and natural." It is 100% inulin (a natural vegetable fiber) and dissolves excellently into water. The solution is clear and nearly tasteless, a little sweet maybe. Take this 3-4 a day with 1 of those little red stool softeners a couple times a day and you will be as regular as Keenan Ivory Waynes drinking a bean cola! 8o
 
One of the main functions of your large intestines is to remove water from your stool. Since opiates slow or stop the peristaltic wave contractions. youe stoolmoves very slowly, hence your intestine removes much more water. Fiber helps to retain water, but there is something called PEG 3350 which works even better.But these will not help with the dense stool in your rectum. That is what glycerine suoppositories are for. I've never tried enemas but they should work(especially with a little mineral oil in it). Its taken me two days to get dense stool out, like an inch at a time. Its hell, but just keep using suppositories or enemas. Opiates are so glamorous!
 
The important thing is to read and follow the directions, a lot of fiber supplements require you to drink extra water or it can just add to the constipation.
 
It says I shouldn't take the fibre if im on an opiate. Last night was my last dose for a long long time at 120mg of dhc. I go on holiday tomorrow and I want to empty my bowls out now, as it's now past 4 days. I'm going to try the enemas.

I've also realised from the one shit I did take this week I have an enormous tear line coming toward my spine area, which sitting down I can feel. Luckily i can say ive experienced this before, along with majot rectal bleeding as a resut and i know that this will subside over the course of a week. I just need to empty myself and fast. This is fucking horrendous. Never again am I fucking with dhc or morphine. I never had this problem with oxy.
 
Right okay - just been to the toilet, hard small turds which appear to be bloody. Never seen this before, looks like blood is laced within the lumps. I did NOT have to use an enema - a sex marathon somehow managed to get my bowls moving.

It could just be that from straining I definitely have a fissure and tear of my rectum, and the stools came into contact with that? What should I do?

Expect a whole load more of shit on holiday? I'll definitely pack some immodium - as I'm not taking opiates anymore for a good while.
 
Yeah I'm used to seeing blood covered turds, aint good, aint a medical emergency, at least for me, only u can tell how bad the bleeding is and wwhether or not it warrants medical attention...

Don't take immodium or any anti-diarehals, u need to empty out not block in! If this keeps u off of opiates great! Every time u wana use think about ur bloody shits!

But if u have this problem again, wait a few hours before ur next dose of opiates when ur body is juuuuust starting to go into w/d, and then drink a bunch of caffeine, smoke a cig, or heck even do some coke/amph and u WILL shit. Then reward that hard work with some opiates, or just stay clean and not have to worry about it EVER AGAIN
 
Darlin...I have gone for over a month with no BM. The only thing I have found that works is drinking 3 TBLS of Mineral Oil before bed. It can take up to three doses. Once it works...watch out cuz you won't be leaving the house for a day. It usually last about a weak with loose bowel movements, but no cramping involved at all.
 
i dunno if you have tried bisacodyl but i take about triple the recommended dose and it had me shitting even after i was high. Takes 6-12 hours to work for the pills but 30 minutes for the suppositories. I can't imagine how uncomfortable you must be. I gave myself hemorrhoids once from opiates and never again. I shit once a day or i don't get high.
 
Really? What could it be a sign of?

The blood was what appeared to be a bright red colour, which disgustingly enough made the toilet water orange, as to the only reason as to why I noticed it.

I'm off on holiday tomorrow. Fuck

Update: had another bowl movement. No blood in the faeces but still rock hard, easier to push out though. Lots of blood when I wiped so it's clear the blood is coming from the fissure and rupturing around my asshole.

I can deal with the fissures and ruptures no problem, had em many times before related to opiates.

Yeah if u actually have an anal fissure, that needs to be checked out by a doctor, if ur just having a little bleeding caused by passing hard stool, that's something I wouldn't say NEEDS medical attention...

BUT since uve had non-opiate related rectal probs b4, I'd get it checked out if persists for another 2-3 days.

To the poster re mineral oil, howd u take it?
