My mum has started a disgusting habit now. Her poo is normally almost rock hard and small, and sometimes comes out without her realising (I think this is a sign of constipation, we've been to the GP for previous similar issues).
My mum hallucinates and has for a while, seeing people round the house, and now she says there are people in the bathroom who want to "measure" the poo that come out, so she has taken to handling it, or putting it in her pocket etc. Sometimes she stands in the bathroom for a long time just holding the poo for these "people". I've tried explaining she should ignore them and just flush it away but it takes a while.
I'm almost slightly embarrassed for her (and me) to bring this up with my family/friends. Which when I type that seems stupid to say.
We still have regular checks with the clinic so think I will mention it to them.
Wondering if anyone has dealt with similar or has any suggestions.
I will get her to the GP about the suspected constipation.
