Do heroin addicts suffer from gastro intestinal issues?
Heroin addicts can suffer from constipation. The reason is heroin affects body functions such as control of digestion, control of heartbeat, control of organ functions, and so on. The small intestines are greatly affected by heroin use and often do not work optimally in heroin addicts and this results in poor movement of feces along the small intestine. The reduced efficiency and function of the small intestines is what can lead to constipation in heroin addicts.

Why does sugar curb heroin addicts need for the drug?
Most addicts are found to be hypoglycemic. This condition may have existed before they started taking drugs. Basically all drugs addicts, whatever chemical they are using, are after serotonin, a chemical that the body produces from food sources and that makes them feel happy and content. Addicts have a problem producing serotonin, and when they withdraw from drugs they get depressed, anxious, irritable and will return to drugs. Alcoholics sometimes experience intense cravings for Chocolate, I guess its related. Regardless of hypoglycemia or whether sweets are particularly desirable when high on heroin, sugar absolutely does not curb the need for heroin!!!! Only opiates/opioids will fulfill a heroin addict, no matter how tasty they think sugar is, they will still be in withdrawl. Medically sugar dose nothing to suppress heroin withdrawl.
