Just curious... which came first - the gastroparesis or the opioids?

I ask because all opioids are known to cause constipation (even when used "as needed") and can also, in some cases, be a cause of gastroparesis.

If they are unrelated, then I spoze it's possible the gastric pacemaker might even counter/negate these digestive side-effects of whatever (methadone or any other) opioids are prescribed, but I really don't know... Those would be questions/matters to discuss with her doctor(s).
