I know, not a subject we want to talk about, but...........

I did a search and couldn't find anything on this subject. I am on Methadone maintenance (along with Neurontin) for SFN and the Methadone gives me bad constipation. I have terrible Gastroparesis, so I cannot have fiber. I can't stand the taste of prunes or yogurt, so they are out. I drink about 3 8oz glasses of water a day as well as another 2 glasses of juices or soda a day. I cannot exercise or walk much obviously. I have heard many things about laxative and stool softeners that say you should not take these over an extended period of time because they can give you a lazy bowel.

I have extreme cramps and pain because of this and am looking for any suggestions you might have for those of you with my same issues.
