Question Tony, I have a suggestion...

Do these loose events occur as your opiate is wearing off?

Some people on long term opiate therapy develop physiological tolerance, and when the drug wears off, there can be a "mini" withdrawal, which would have diarrhea presenting.

I have seen loperamide (Imodium) which is OTC in USA given for this.

It is something to think about.

So in addition to evaluating your back (which might be the cause of your escalating pain), think about the timing of your meds, and when you get the diarrhea events.

These are the only other things I can think of to investigate for you.
