Has he been given any loperamide tablets?
Hi there yes he has but he’s been using Imodium liquid as it’s bit more gentle as he also has a rectal prolapse . We are trying to combat the diarrhoea but not cause constipation at the same time it’s an impossible task
I would get him to contact the triage nurse, I ended up in hospital last week with severe diarrhoea he needs to be very careful not to get dehydrated. It's so awful I feel his pain. I hope he gets sorted
Thank you I hope you get sorted out as well .
