[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 359963, member: 3444"] Susie, when you described Relistor, it made me think of low-dose naltrexone which is an opiate receptor blocker... then I googled it and turns out that's EXACTLY what it is! And this is so ironic because I'd asked the GI nurse to quiz the doctor on whether she's ever rx'd low-dose naltrexone for IBS -- because there was one very small open label study that showed it had some benefit for people suffering from IBS, but that it needed more controlled studies for more data and proof. Learning Disability (LD) Naltrexone is also used for Crohn's disease and a few other autoimmune disorders with pretty good success. Serenityprayer tells me it's the only thing that's truly put her Crohn's in remission. The GI never called me back today... I'm now doubtful that difficult child 1 really was constipated because all his stools today were greenish diarrhea, which indicates it's flying through his colon and the bile does not have time to break down. I know about stool leaking out around an impaction, but nothing solid has come out at all today. [/QUOTE]
