My husband has suddenly lost the memory of how to poo by intent and when I try to encourage him or suggest he for example hold his breath and try to break wind he can't do that either. The result is .........well I'm sure you know. Until a few days ago he was performing normally when taken to the lavatory but are those days gone forever or could this be a phase which will pass? His faeces are not loose, in fact he'd be easier to clean up if they were so
