Hi all,
My Mom has been having some poopy accidents the last couple months which my Dad is handling. Mom had stomach surgery years ago and her digestive system has always been a mess but nothing like this. Food literally goes right through her within 30 minutes of eatting and she will "go" all day sometimes. Well, today she had a nasty accident in Walmart and Dad had to wisk her out of the store quickly or they were going to have to call the hazmat unit !
I havne't run across this problem in thread and wondered if anyone else is facing this? I'm thinking perhaps it is a side effect to her medicaiton. She is on Aricept, Namenda and Larazepam. for AD and Evista, and Celebrex for bones/arthritus.
If this is just the course of the illness, how does everyone handle it? She will not wear diapers and since this comes on her so out of the blue, getting her to go prior to a errand doesn't seem to work. Is this a sign of decline? Seems there have been many lately.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Debbie
