For Diarrhea "I was put on opium tincture after trying every prescription diarrhea medication that was on the market.It was to the point that I felt like I was a human test subject. I was moving mu bowels to times a day. I could not leave my house. I lose my job. I was losing weight rapidly because nothing was staying in my system. When my doctor suggested opium I was very nervous about going on it after being told I would be on it for the rest of my life. I didn't make the decision right away I had to really think about it. I had no quaIity of life. Once I made the decision to try it I was some what relieved because the diarrhea was slowing down. It took a few adjustments on the dosage right after month and month and months finally had something that helped and gave me back some of my life. It tastes awful, but a very small price to pay for all it has done for me. Great medicine!! "

For Diarrhea "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."

For Diarrhea "This is a life altering treatment also know as Opium 1% Tincture. After several surgeries (bowel resections on the area of the ileum) I suffered year of ironic diarrhea 20 plus time a day I had no life quality, lost my job, lost my insurance. Tried every OTC medication and numerous RX with awful side effects or no relief at all. Developed Crohns and finally found a Dr to prescribe Opium Tin for me. With very little daily .5 to .7 cc twice daily the big D stays in check and I can resume a "normal" life with BM only 4 or 5 daily and no accidents. Life is great. With the current trend 2017 war on opioid abuse Dr are becoming reluctant to prescribe the medication."
