		<description><![CDATA[Constipation is often a side effect of opioid use. It seems like you can never win. You take one medication to get rid of your pain, and then another one to get rid off all the side effects. It is estimated that out of all the patients who taken opiates for chronic pain, 40-90% will develop constipation.  There are many medications that your doctor can prescribe to you. Just like all medication regimens, finding the perfect cocktail is always a challenge. 

Of course, when it comes to your bowel, this challenge is not always a fun one.  

Besides what your doctor tells you, there are many things you can do to help yourself.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=flourishwithfibro.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8657445&amp;post=385&amp;subd=flourishwithfibro&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
