Direct effect: Gastroparesis is a direct effect of opiates. That why diarrhea and vomiting are seen during withdrawal. If you are completely off of narcotics, normal bowel function should return within 3 to 7 days depending on which opiate your detoxing from. If normal function does not return, something is causing the problem.
