I will say that I've never known a senior who did not have very loose stools all the time. I've always wondered why. I hope that's not what lies in store for me. lol

I am writing from the patients perspective. I was diagnosed with Early onset ALZ 4 years ago. My Neuro Dr told me Donepezil was known to create problems with diarrhea. I noticed about a week in to taking the medication I was having increasing instances of diarrhea.
I had an idea and started eating about 1/8 of a jar of Dry Roasted Peanuts or Honey Roasted Peanuts a day. They do a good job of firming up your bowels. Should I have a day when I haven't stuck to my routiine, I am sure to have a bout with diarrhea. I've been doing this for almost all of the last four years and I've shared this with friends from our Forgetful Friends Group and have been told it has also worked for them. I hope others will fine this a worthy tip.
