constipation, drug induced
"Been taking Movantik 25mg for a year due to opioids.  After taking it, within 10 minutes the gas starts. I have an abdominal hernia and get a painful fist size knot that I have to push on to get it moving.  This drug is definitely not a sure thing.  I still have to take flax oil capsules or stool softeners and sometimes even that doesn't help.  I do not go without having a movement for more than two days and then I start with the suppositories and magnesium citrate.  Before I got Rx for this drug I had constipation so bad I went to ER twice and that was the WORST enema experience.  I thought I was going to die from my pain and the sweating and chills and trying to push.  Eating apples daily helps when I can afford them!"
