Reply to "Tincture of Opium"

ktaMember

I reviewed the message sent by my docs office and it wasn't AS blunt as I remembered. I think I just panicked. Still am nervous. I did ask why and asked if there are alternatives. They replied that long term usage led to "negative outcomes" and that if I were passing stool over 8X a day without Opium, then there might be an underlying issue going on. I decided to run with that and set up the 1st appointment I could get - in early June - to hear her out. I do plan to try to find out if she thinks the "negative" outcomes are physical or mental or both. I also plan on checking out a few other gastroenterologists just in case.

I read on here that Cleveland Clinic docs prescribe Opium. It just all makes me wonder.

Time will tell. Until then, I am thankful I just filled my prescription.
