Thanks Mark! The worst problem I have with the use of opioid medication is the constipation. Recently I switched to a mostly vegan diet, eating actually 3 meals daily and some healthy snacks such as fruit/veggies and along with my usual doses of Miralax and Senakot-S I've been really pleased that I can do my *morning ritual* with no probs like before.

Also the last 6 months or so I had a.m. nausea that kept me house bound until about noon time. I asked every doctor I had what was wrong with me, had labwork done, tests, even had an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound ordered (didn't have them).

I changed my diet around and my patterns of eating and the nausea vanished and the urge and ability re bowel movements returned!


However it'd be nice to have an injectable medicine as an option and it's great for the morbidly constipated as I was termed at one time back when taking MS Contin ( constipation was the reason I was switched to Methadone).
