Chronic diarrhoea with painkillers

[Hidden]

Hi

Some pain killers might do that, check on the side effects. Pain killers make me constipation, I have to have lactulose. What other meds are you on. Take care Lynne

Thanks Lynne. I’m on a right cocktail at the moment. Waiting for results of MRI on a trapped nerve in my neck. But have to be careful with painkillers as I have Diverticulitis and IBS. I’m going back to Drs today. Take care. David

This is a quite common side effect of many painkillers and antibiotics.Some can make you constipated, most people take diocalm tablets for this side effect of painkillers. But your not supposed to use diocalm for a long time. Arrowroot in drinks ect can help prevent this side effect. And Senna is useful for constipation or oramorph.
