HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having constipation and/or bloating due to the morphine then you may want to consider a change in diet or using medications that may help you.
A high fiber diet with fruits and vegetables (avoiding gas producing foods), whole grain foods may be helpful.
In addition to this using medications such as alocid, nexium, prilosec, prevacid , which are normally used for reflux may also help the bloating.
I hope this helps
