She's already gone to the hospital once for it, after she started throwing up. Once she pooped out the blockage, it didn't stop for awhile. Back at home, she refuses to try. 2 suppositories, she still won't try, and now complains about feeling sick again. Xrays at hospital show no intestinal problems. Help??
Remember, this isn't your Mom's fault. This happens with aging. There are ways to address it.
Wishing you good luck.
But I digress. I hope you find the right combination of supplements to help your Mom go. Good luck!
She's comfortable on the loo, is she? It's the right height for her, so that she can rest her feet firmly on the floor, seat not too narrow and doesn't dig in to her bottom?
No haemorrhoids or anything like that?
A 'squatty potty' was my friend, as also was belly massage. You can watch this online. It's very gentle and really helped.
I took Miralax in a little warm prune juice at night. Stool softeners also. Drank a lot of water and if it was warm, that helped stimulate the bowels.
Fiber Brownies are great. As my granddaughter warned me "One will make you happy, 2 will make you poop your pants". (she was 8 at the time, I still laugh at that when I buy those)
