Kratom questions

I'm thinking about taking kratom to help with abdominal pain, but I'm extremely scared of medications. I currently take low dose methadone (10mg daily), but it just isn't helping. I've been on it for years. What should I start with? I do not want to feel ANY euphoric effects at all.
