By bulking up would mean bananas and cheese. You can seach internet for other ideas.

My GF just went thru a series of tests to find out why she couldn't keep food down. Everything was negative. Drs explanation was bad bacteria in her stomach/intestines. So she has started a probiotic and eating yogurt. Says she is back to normal. May want to try a probiotic.

Milk and milk products often cause problems. Also fruit juices. Do try something to bulk the BM's up a little.

Bless your son. That takes a lot out of a person, to do that kind of care for a LO. I can clean up a total stranger before I could deal with DH.

I agree with Joann. Start with diet and medications and what has changed. Cut the sugars for sure. You could try citrucel with a bit less water than recommended. Do not use metamucil as that causes gas and more explosive stools. This might give a daily BM with good bulk.Worth a try. Get the sugar free.

Has his medication changed in anyway? Has his started iron pills? Something new in his diet. Drinking coffee makes BMs more frequent and bothers some people. Juices like Apple. I cut both out of my Moms diet. As people age they become Lactose intolerant.
