Have you tried prunes , or prune juice? Try orange juice, or apple juice. Any juice made from natural fruits or vegetables should help. You must keep him hydrated or his condition is going to get worse. These are a few old remedies: 1. Phenemint gum is good. 2. Olive oil by the spoonful works well but taste is bland. 3. An OTC medicine "666" known as 3 6's is good for his condition but has a terrible taste so follow with a small cup of orange juice. 4. Cod liver oil is wonderful but taste horrible so follow with orange juice. OJ helps cut the after taste of a lot bad flavored medications. If all else fails, use the suppositories. Keep them in your house on stand by. You didn't describe his diet. You just stated nothing concerning it has changed so I can't advise you in that area. However, make sure his diet has plenty of fruit and fiber in it. Please keep him hydrated. Hope he gets better soon....
