Effects - embarrassing question: Constipation

[ADDlCTlON]

like the title says... is swim the only one who gets constipated from using poppy pod tea? swim getting tired of drinking prune juice everyday just to stay regular (when swim does find time use the tea), can anyone help swim out with some anti-constipation tips? lol thanks..tbh swim asked me to join this forum to help out on this particular Q

If SWIY has a doc, tell them SWIY has irregularity issues and ask for a script for polyethylene glycol aka Miralax or Glycolax. SWIM finds these work tons better than anything OTC--if SWIY eats well they don't really need to add bulk increase water content. SWIY doesn't need to tell their doc why they have issues--just that they are.

Barring that, SWIM would try a few tablespoon of Glycerin or Mineral Oil every other day and stay well-hydrated to keep things moving down there.

Daily exercise, even an evening walk, will also help.

Constipation is a normal side effect with all opiates and in poppy tea the alkaloids mainly morphine, codeine and thebaine (spelling) all courses constipation.

Its the same as with heroine, morphine, codeine and all meds made from the poppy.

Laxatives will help, swim uses dulcolax when in desperate need... But there are more milder/natural laxatives available OTC.

Please use an appropriately descriptive thread title, however embarrassing you find the question to be. You are anonymous on this forum and if you look around you'll see that far more bizarre and potentially shameful things have been discussed openly here (see all the anal injestion / enema and weird sex threads!).

That stinks that you have those problems... My good friend Goobie has the same problems due to opiods that she takes on a regular basis. For her, she finds that taking 3-4 Senna 100mg (OTC, Walgreen's) tablets a day really helps to keep her regular. She CAN'T handle Prune juice for nothing!! Blech!

And if she can't for some reason stay regular, the ONLY enemas that she's found to work are also from Walgreen's OTC, and they're SALINE - not Mineral - based. It seems to do the trick. On top of that one could also used Magnesium Citrate (I believe) in Cherry flavor and it helps everything move along as well.

The pain and discomfort that come from constipation are killer! This gal knows exactly what you're talking about Don't be embarassed - I think a lot of people are used to this!

Metamucil (psyllium seed husks) is super for keeping things moving, as well as supplementing your fiber and cleaning out the (stubborn) contents of your bowels. Store brand just as good (CVS or equivalent).

My friend Meg takes Wal-mart brand stool softener (like 3 or 4 pills) whenever it is time to get happy. She says it is seamless this way.. she swallows them along with her drugs and never has any problems pooping nor does she ever have the need for laxatives via this method.

Eat properly. Increase your fresh greens intake. Last week I ate almost 2 quarts of salad greens and the next morning my ass was fast and quick! That may be an excessive dose, but it still worked.

A proper, well rounded diet is the most important thing a drug user can do for them selves. So many of the minor negative effects of drugs are the result of failure to upkeep the robot.

Eat your greens and you'll be fine.
