"Beware. Opium helped alleviate my chronic diarrhea - I have a j-pouch. Then I turned 65, went on Medicare, and was promptly informed by Medicare that the FDA does not consider opium to be an effective treatment for chronic diarrhea, and thus will not cover it in its Rx plan. That, of course, is nonsense; the decision by the FDA was simply politics. At any rate, I had to drop my opium Rx because of the cost. Now I'm on morphine. It doesn't work as well, but I have no choice."

Opium "Since age 10, I suffered with bowel problems. Ten years ago, I lost 60+ lbs in two months. I was emaciated and felt horrible, plus not ever being able to leave home. A few years ago, my doctor held my hand and said, 'I'm putting you on Opium Deodorized. I take 0.06cc twice a day, sometimes 3 times a day, when it rears its ugly head.' The doctor explained everything to me. Within a week, I was able to leave my home for the first time in 6 months. This has been a blessing to me. I got my life back and was even able to go to Aspen for a week in October. I'm eternally grateful for this medication. I've had no interactions with other drugs I take."
