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.
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.
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.
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.
