Hydrocodone Urine Test And Severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Updated

I have 2 questions....1)I take Lortab 10/500- 4 per day as needed. I also have severe IBS with sudden and long lasting bouts of diarrhea at least 3 times a week, for which I take prescription Lomotil and Diphen/Atropine to stop the diarrhea. Due to ocassional nausea associated with the Lortab, I sometimes throw it up shortly after taking. I am testing NEGATIVE for opiates in my urine screens. Is it possible that the severe diarrhea is associated with the negative drug urine screens for hydrocodone? I took my medicine over the weekend and again on Monday and on Thursday I was both urine and blood screened. I asked my doctor to take the blood test to confirm positive for hydrocodone. 2) Will the Lortab still be in my urine and/or blood after 3 days (72 hours)? I really need to be able to test positive!

Yes, both the vomiting and diarrhea could be affecting it. The both expel fluids from the body, meaning you have to take in more fluids, which can cause it to process out of your body much faster than usual.

However, in theory, if those factors were not involved, it should show up after 3 days in a urine test, most narcotics are detectable in urine for up to 5 days.

For a blood test, however, the time is even shorter and it can only be detected for about 6 hours.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I just started pain management a few months ago. I do everything they say, I even try the injections they want to try, I go through the numerous tests and xrays,to get to the bottom of what's causing all this pain. I take hydrocodone 10/325, Well, I had a urine test done when I first went there, no one said a word about it, this last time I just went to get my second refill, they did another urine test, but told me it came out negative. I don't know what kind of test they use, they don't answer questions very politely there. I just know they take you to the bathroom, hand you a cup,and say they don't even need much, and to leave it right there on the table in the bathroom,and she will come in and get it.She has just put your name on it. I just can not understand how it could possibly have come out negative! I also have chronic diarrhea that I take prescription Lomotil daily for(it slows it down,but doesn't stop it) and I also take prescription furosemide for water retention in my legs every day. So, yes I do get thirsty alot, and spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Could this be messing up my test? I just really would like to know, because I have to go back again sooner than usual, to take another urine test. If it this should happen again, I am afraid they are going to stop my medicine, these people are my only hope, because where I live, primary care doctors can't or won't do pain management anymore, it's why my doctor referred me to this place. I can't even imagine having to live with this without any type of pain relief. I have been making myself sick worrying over this, because I know I take my medication as directed.

I have kidney problems there is a pinch in the tube between the kidney and bladder I'm in a lot of pain I take 1 hydrocodone a night and 6 tramadol during the day I also take promotion or diphen/ atrop for my IBS my doctor does a urine drug test yet it never shows that I've taken the pills. Now he wants to know what I've done with the pills. The pain in the kidney is so bad I can barely move and they feel like there are on fire. Why doesn't the hydrocodone show up in a urine test?
