Help! My pals has a very soft stool every three days. Uses miralax daily (adjusted to 1/2 capful), lots of h20, and glycerin suppositories on the third day.
Weak diaphragm so difficulty pushing--using gait belt to add in that briefly.
Should we use dulcolax supp instead (we'll check with our hospice rn just Getting your opinion)? Should we try and make sure we get things going at least every 3 days? Can a person become impacted with soft stool or is that just a prob with constipation? Any other ideas to "move things along"?
Sure is exhausting for pals! Cals too!
