A member asked:
Can i take hydrocodone for pain from colitis that's caused by cdiff, or is this dangerous because of the toxic megacolon risk?

Not recommend: I would not recommend this, for reasons you mentioned. It has constipating effect, and in essence, you want to get the stool out... I would try advil instead if you can tolerate it and have no kidney or heart issues as a contraindication.
