Need new doc

My surgeon and person who has been my go to guy ever since is retiring in October 2018. I was told today that the people taking his place will no longer prescribe tincture of opium for frequency. I asked what I was supposed to do as that is all that has worked for my frequency.  The nurse told me to talk to my doc before he retires for alternatives and/or find a gastroenterologist. I am flipping out here because I have no idea how I will make it without the opium to slow me down. Immodium sucked all the moisture out of my body which was uncomfortable, to say the least, and constipated me. 

I have two questions. What do people use for frequency and does anyone have a good doc that understands and monitors the pouch in the Tacoma/Seattle area?
