Poop stuff.

My husband has had 6 strokes (yes, 6!) and I give him 2 Colace pills a day to keep him regular. However, he either clogs up the toilet (not pleasant to unclog) or creates "pot-stickers" (his term) which I have to scrape off the bowl. They're like glue! Any better alternative?

Guys, this is not a serious poster. I thought you gave up a while back, poopin.

No prunes, try dried apricots. Applesauce or baked apples. Or maybe even a better toilet with a more powerful flush. If you have a water-saver toilet, get rid of it. I call them "turd savers" because you have to flush twice.

That's Miralax and create. Darned spell-checker!

He won't eat prunes. Moral ax doesn't creat "glue?"

Try adding miralax (or another similar brand). You might want to include the old standbys like prunes and oatmeal in his diet too. Does he get enough to drink?
