know when this will happen. Yes he wears diapers, but if any of your loved one have this problem, you'll know diapers don't always do the trick for that incontinence. there is the odor and the mess. Is there someway any of you have dealt with this same issue? Is their a medication that he could take to insure this won't happen while your out? I've given him Imodium AD. I don't know if it worked we didn't have any problems that day. I want him to get out, but this is a nerve wracking issue. Any thoughts?
Eg, if you can give him supper with foods that contribute to a BM in the morning, you could try going to lunch and/or supper before it was time for another event.
Cheese also can be constipating, but in smaller amounts it can help regulate movement. You might give him a small amount of cheese before you go out, then balance it out with fruits when you get home.
Unfortunately, it's not an exact science.
As my Dad had aged he developed an intolerance to dairy products. Got him the lactose pills and lactose-free milk which helped. But trying to convince Mom not to give Dad ice cream or cottage cheese was almost impossible because she felt "a little bit won't hurt".... [sigh].
