She keeps having very messy accidents -- and denies it later when we try to prevent her from taking more laxatives.

If she's taking those that come in bottles, replace them with a placebo that looks just like the ones she's taking. Here in the Bronx, for instance, bodegas sell a blue multi-vitamin that looks like Viagra; even the shape is the same. Turns out they're vitamins.
