She even shows me that she had a bowel movement and is so happy. Two hours later she'll say to me -give me something I can't go to the bathroom - I haven't been in days. Anything else she forgets I remind her of she acknowledges and says "guess your right" and no "argument" ONLY WHEN IT PRETAINS TO THE BOWEL MOVEMENT is there an argument! She does get anxiety attacks but mostly in the morning and then the pass by late morning. It's all nerves on her part. Almost seems like she's getting a heart attack, but she has been checked by her doctor even and no signs of heart failure. I guess it's just the aging process for her. Thank you.
Some meds like prednisone & pain killers can cause slow bowel action. If not overdone, either of these juices can help
I also think the anti-anxiety med at bedtime is a good idea as well.
Mom also had anxiety attacks in the morning (more like panic attacks because a few times she threw up and lost control of her bowels and said she was dying) I'm guessing this is part of the aging process for some women. The doctor gave her clonzepam which she carried with her and she was instructed to take one at bedtime to keep it from happening in the night.
