Pink poop from snorting roxys?

[Tosh.Suku]

My apologies for being graphic and gross but this isn't the sort of thing I can bring up with my doctor without revealing I've used illegal narcotics. Something I'd like to avoid unless absolutely necessary.

Over x-mas vacation I bought 65 roxys 30mg and went on a binge, sometimes snorting as many as 6 a day. I had stomach cramps and diarrhea appear quickly and noticed my stool had pink mucus almost resembling blood. Googled a lot from food poisoning to ulcers.

So I started to eat healthier and avoided red things like tomato soup. After a couple weeks it went away. Coincidently, around the same time I finished the oxy binge. Then 8 days without taking oxy I scored 20 more and started to snort them, tonight the pink mucus poop started to appear again.

So what I'm experiencing are symptoms of some major underlining issue with my GI system or it's relate to the oxy I've snorted recently? I'm wondering if anyone here who snorted oxycodone has ever had pink diarrhea or poop? Could oxycodone IR tear up your stomach lining or intestinal track??

I mean the whole point I paid so much $ for oxy-30's was to give my body a break from all the tylenol & ibuprofen I've consumed with percocets and vicodins recently. I've used oxys off and on for a couple years now and never experienced this. What's up, doc?

When you took a break from snorting oxy were you taking any opioids? Do you also get these symptoms when you swallow them? Your symptoms sound really concerning.

Yea defintely, those 8 days I was taking lots of percs 5/325's (it was all that was available) and some vicoprofens, to help with the withdrawal from the x-mas binge

Think it's time for another liver enzyme test, kidney function test, or some sort of colon scope?

Well it is pretty weird that this has only been happening when you snort the Roxy. The first thing to do would be to stop snorting them. It could be a reaction to snorting them as opposed to a chronic issue, although admittedly I've never heard of that happening before. Honestly I would see a doctor, even if you aren't willing to tell them the whole truth. They could order tests based on your symptoms at least.

were you highly constipated throughout this binge and not eating very healthy (you mention adjusting your diet to being more healthy)? like, how many days were in between each bowel movement you were having? and were you properly hydrated throughout the binge?

my theory - possibly ripping up nasal tissue causing bleeding and ending up in your stool; or being constipated to the point where your poop was/is ripping the lining of your anal passage/rectum/intestines upon excretion, which is why hydration is important. you otherwise have hardened and compact feces which can rip tissue inside the passage on it's way out.

if this continues on you do need to see a doctor. it doesn't have to be your usual GP to avoid any repercussions you think you may experience.

this sounds serious so please take care in the mean time and take it easy on the usage, maybe even abstaining until you've something definitive as to what is happening. best of luck

do you know what a cold water extraction is? it removes the majority of apap or ibuprofen is such formulations.

I think it's probably as stated above due to ripping of your anus/rectum due to constipation issues from opiates - blood will pass onto your stool making it appear a pinky-red hue colouring.

However as you've presented it as having a mucus type look - this sounds pretty serious and could literally be parts of your stomach wall that have been shredding from excessive use of ibuprofen or apap. Both are quite damaging to the stomach, the latter more to the kidneys and liver. Seriously if I were you I'd go and get this checked out immediately as there could be another problem here. My bets are on stomach perforation or ulcering - which if left untreated oils lead to death.

Have you been witnessing any other symptoms recently? I know you've been doped up - but if it was an ulcer no amount of narcotics would stop the pain if it was at the stage of shredding. Aside from typical withdrawal from opiate I mean by the way.

In your opinion, am I past the point where I can just drop everything except maybe some weed and let my stomach or GI track heal on its own? Or could I actually be making things worse if I don't get checked out, even if I'm no longer using?

Believe it or not, I'm not worried about opiod withdrawals since this shit started happening(no pun).

I think even though it isn't what you'll want to hear, you need to get to the doctor right away. Talking on here only leads to endless speculation, so I'm going to close this for now. Feel free to start a new one once you seek medical attention.

I think you should defiantly give everything a break for now perhaps even the weed to assess the pain that you could be having and also give yourself time to recover.
