A Place for Mom's Family

My mom is just now experiencing this in the form of uncontrolable diahhrea.  Does anyone know if this is a condition that can be treated?

 

Sometimes this can be a symptom of other problems.  It could be caused by many different things that may be treatable.  Among these are impaction, an intestinal "bug" that can be difficult to be rid of, and other reasons.  You need to have her physician test her stool if that has not already been done.  Discuss this issue with her physician to see if there is a cause that can be found and treated.  Good luck with this.

Since you state your mom is "just now" experiencing the diahhrea you are probably introducing her to some form of Adult Diapers and I would Recommend the Tranquility Premium Disposable underwear for two reasons: The are protective underwear and not diapers, so will be easier on her psyche and they are super absorbent. But to help the issue you should try her on the dietary supplement call "pro-biotics" which have the intended effect of supporting a healthy digestive system. These help with a variety of bowel related issues. Good luck.
