Constipation: Narcotics can often cause constipation. The colon gets filled with stool and cause excruciating pain. Watery diarrhea fluid can go around the solid stool. As long as he is passing gas or having diarrhea, you could try having him drink three bottles of magnesium citrate and then say by the toilet till his colon completely empties.
