What Causes Chronic Constipation While On Suboxone For An Opiate Addiction?
I have chronic constipation with persistent gas and typically go weeks without having a bowel movement. When I am able to go it is often very painful with the waste being very large and impacted. I take suboxone for an opiate addiction which is likely the root of the problem but seeing as I m going to be on this medication long term I m looking for something other then short term laxatives. I already take a regular fiber supplement with no improvement as of yet.
now the best laxative for your problem is liquid paraffin which helps in softening your stools .take only 5ml maximum per day. it will take a couple of days to see the effect.good luck
