How To Treat Disturbed Bowels After Non Smoking Rehab?
my husband aged 77 has been in hospital for 6 weeks so had to stop smoking. While he was in there he lost control of his bowles. On coming home he regained a lot of control but 4 days ago started smoking again and now can't get to the toilet in time. I think it is connected with smoking. Can you help

Hello,
The disturbed bowels need multi-modality approach such as:
- Plenty of liquids intake.
- High fiber diet with bulk forming laxative as psyllium husk.
- Mobilization with exercises.
