Dad a bit better today main problem trying to get correct dosage re constipation. Without going into too much detail he has had problems for years in that field, basically family thing nan (his mum) had it all her life. Obviously with the heart problems he must not strain so has to have various meds. Downside can make him stomach very bloated and windy.
Poor Dad ... and you have to deal with so many competing issues. Can he eat oatmeal and more fruits and veggies?
Snugs, has he ever tried taking epsom salts (magnesium sulfate)? It works wonders and doesn't have side affects like drugs would.
