Does Intake Of Suboxone Help In Curing Severe Stomach Pain?
Question: In Aug 2015, I went to the ER with all the symptoms of food poisoning. After the tests, it turned out to be very severe Gastritis & a hiatal hernia. I began seeing a GI doctor & started a regiment of different medications. He also performed an endoscopy & colonoscopy. I was also tested for Celiac's & Colitis (I have neither). I've had to drastically change my diet (of course), but the main trigger for my stomach pain is stress. My younger brother is in prison; my father has just been "cured" of laryngeal cancer; my mother has cancer, Celiac's & Colitis; my aunt has just had a complete bone marrow transplant; & I lost my job 2 weeks before Christmas. There is literally no way for me to avoid stress. My meds are Protonix; Robinul Forte; Lomotil; Ultram; Paxil CR; Klonopin; & Seroquil. I'm allergic XXXXXXX Phen & Bactrim. I have spoken to my GI about a stronger pain medication for my stomach, but he can only prescribe the Ultram & has advised taking 2 at a time. I've researched blogs from other individuals with this pain & approximately 90% have said suboxine has helped more than anything else. Unfortunately, the state of AL only considers this for detox from controlled substances. Is there any way to use my insurance to try this as pain management & what type of doctor should I see for this?
Brief Answer:
Treat the cause, Hiatal hernia and gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Suboxone is an opioid and it worsens Gi symptoms. Your symptoms are due to gastritis and hiatal hernia. Unless you get hernia fixed these symptoms will keep recurring . Suboxone slows down the bowel movement and all your symptoms will worsen with that so not even think about that option.
Pain management is just treating a symptom. Treating cause is necessary and that is gastritis and hernia. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
