Prescription Med Question....

[JKurz1]

I just thought of something...been having a severe bloated problem, which isnt allowing to consume as many cals as I should be......I had my wisdom teeth yanked a few mnths back and got a rx for vicodine. No refills, but 30 pills. I've only used them on occasion and take 1/2 here and there now for back relief which really seems to help. Now, I am wondering if it's messing with my stomach. Trust me, I dont abuse them, as this is my only rx and never got a refill...1/2 day max....but does the 1/2 mess with my stomach and make me feel bloated?

a few years ago i used to eat 5-7 750mg ES's at a clip after my motorcycle accident and i was never bloated

edit: forgot to say, coming off them (talking about if youre hooked on them)will upset your stomach, give you cramps, make you sweat, give you the shits, etc.

Here's a link about Vicodin:
http://www.drugs.com/mtm/v/vicodin.html

It says:
Take acetaminophen and hydrocodone (Vicodin) with food or milk if it causes stomach upset.

Pain killers used to kill my appetite and bloat me up! I took a lot more than the average duck though! As long as you have only 30 you are good to go save them for when you need them and when you need them make sure you eat and drink lots of water as you should be anyway. If it affects you that way know it before you take it and force yourself to eat. Those are great days to eat really clean calories since you are not wanting to eat anyway. Good luck!

You might have something there.... I know that SF gum gives me severe cramps sometimes (some brands are worse than others).... xylitol, sorbitol, and mannitol are culprits
