Hi..My mum lives in a residential home and she has been having diarroea for some weeks,also has constipation and she is on Movical...But today I saw her and she has lost 4lbs in a week..She looks awful and is not drinking alot...I was reasurred last week that she was not impacted as the district nurses said so but would an abdominal scan allow us to see that,rather than just a rectal examination...So now the GP is coming out to decide whether she should be admitted to hospital...Should it be taking this amount of time to sort out her diarrhoea..They just keep saying well she is not impacted.......Any advice would be good....Thanks
