hi all
it looks like i am paying for the weeks respite Jim had,he came home without having had a bowel movement for 5 days ,even though i had sent a letter asking them to take note of his problems and sending a bottle of lactulose in with him .it took a further 7 days ,and double the laxative plus dulco lax ,and copious amounts of fruit fibre ,that was 12 days in all .it does not seem to really be constipation more acase of him holding it back,anyway i called the doctor out atter ifound out how long he had gone in respite ,as usual it all happend before the doc arrived ,he then started to vomit for 12 hours the doc thoght this was conected to the same problem ,of course after all the retching he had a raw throat and chest wich meant he could not take his tblets and did not eat or drink for another day ,i had to call the doc out again has he was now dehidrated,,well he is on the mend to day ,i am glad to say ,except he still has a cough and does not like the taste of the antibiotcs even though they are in with his fruit juice ,it is now 4 days since .he went to the toilet ,so it looks like this is going to be a regular thing.any ideas how to deal with this ?as i said it,s more a case of him holding it back he usually shouts when i hold him down on the toilet and says that it is dirty.sorry if this is all to graphicbut it must be happening to a lot of youHELP PLEASE .ANGELA
