What Causes Excessive Stools With Foul Gas In Autistic Patients?
My 20 yo son has autism without help he is constipated so he uses dulcolax 2x a day with his medicine and miralax as his juice to take his medicine. His poops are extremely large, to the point he will clog the toilet most often, and smell awful and he has terrible gas. The color is an orange which I give to the dulcolax. Any advice? He also has seizures so he is on several medications.

dear,
I can understand the stress youist be through.
The foul smell of stool and poor bowel habit is related to the functional deficits due to autism.
I suggest controlling his autistic behaviour with medications and conservatively managing his bowel habits is advised.
A consultation to psychiatrist is advised.
