  1. Dr Gerald M Sacks Believes That Every Practitioner Should Focus on Helping Patients Return to Their Baseline Level of Bowel Function

  2. Dr Gerald M Sacks Elaborates the Concept of OIC Dr Gerald M Sacks emphasizes on the availability of the treatments and believes that patients who suffer from OIC are generally advised to make lifestyle changes. They are asked to follow good hydration, good level of physical activity, eating fruits and vegetables, and utilizing over-the counter medications when needed. However, sometimes the lifestyle changes are not enough to help patients manage their problems.

  3. He States That Every Practitioner Should Focus on Helping Patients Return to Their Baseline Level of Bowel Function According to him, the practitioners must utilize medications and lifestyle enhancements so that they are able to maintain their baseline level of bowel function to maintain their level of activity. He considers that it should be compulsory for all the practitioners to treat any adverse effects that may be caused by the medications being prescribed.

  4. Dr Sacks Further Considers Additional Treatment Options for OIC Management Dr Gerald M Sacks opines that although the appropriate balanced nutrition with appropriate vegetables, fruit, and dietary fiber helps prevent OIC [opioid-induced constipation] and other types of constipation, it is equally important to be as active as the patients are permitted to be. If the patients are physically active, it maintains the whole body’s homeostasis, including the bowel movements.
