Help I have been on a huge does of morphine for 3 years due to four back surgeries. I have irritable bowel and always before morphine had diarhea as main symptom. Now however it takes dynamite to go a rabbit size amount. I know I am full of %8@#.
Is there anything natural that might help?
I have taken
Zelnorm
Miralax
Dulcolax
Fleet
Stool softeners
No luck on these except maybe once a week

Thanks in advance for your help

In the past I took natural liquorice that I bought in a health shop. Foodwise - figs, prunes, cabbage, peanuts, baked beans, citrus fruit. Lots of water - over 2 litres is the recommended amount for most people. Exercise - even just walking can help. Hot water bottle on your stomach as well can help.

I hope you get some relief soon

Take care
