My friend is taking alot of pain medicine,so he has trouble w/ constipation. Is there any natural way to help?

Question

He doesn't have a lot of appetite so it's difficult to get him to eat correctly.

Answer 1

Read and apply http://www.helium.com/tm/148271 to fix the problem generating the pain signal.

Start smoking or eating marijuana to take the edge off of the pain signals and improve appetite.

Answer 2

Epsom salts are a natural laxative.  Directions for mixing are on the package.

Answer 3

Tell him to take a spoon full of baby oil. It taste really gross, but look out! He can also drink alot of apple juice.

Answer 4

First, he should be taking some form of probiotics.  Second, get him to munch on raw baby carrots with ranch dressing.  They aren't very filling, so his appetite shouldn't be an issue, and any amount he can manage will help.

Answer 5

i've been taking vicodin and percocets and the doc said to just take a laxative like correctol or anything to keep from getting constipated.

Answer 6

Fruit, apples and prunes are the best, prune juice or "Sunsweat" juices, for me ketchup or tomato juice helps too. Anything with fiber.

Answer 7

Things he can have small amounts of that are high in fibre are good such as sweetcorn, red peanuts, grapes, tinned prunes, fresh orange juice and plenty of clear fluids.
