By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

Consistent timing is the most important thing.
Good luck. I am assuming you are not currently using a whole lot of medications for either diarrhea or constipation. Truly it can be a seesaw between the two. Our bowels, like everything else gets slow and sluggish. The build up on constipation can cause diarrhea. Just a merry-go-round.
Has the reason for the constipation and diarrhea been determined? Unfortunately this may require testing.
You just have to figure out if the testing is worth it. (and in most cases it isn't)
I walked the constipation/diarrhea tightrope with my Husband for a long time.
It was just one of those things that I kept an eye on and informed Hospice when he was constipated.
And he got Senna every morning, Lactulose every morning. Lots of fruits (pineapple and papaya puree was great) and there were times he was still constipated.
Resorted to the recipe Hospice gave me on occasions ("The Bomb" was 1/4 Cup Prune Juice, 1/4 Cup Milk of magnesia and 1/4 Cup Orange Juice warmed up to body temp. Took about 30 minutes to kick in!) And there were occasions with Suppositories and gloves! (not the way I wanted to spend an afternoon!)
Odd thing..when I would get him up in the Hoyer Lift sling often he would have a BM and when I thought about it the position he was in was almost the same as the position you are in using that Squatty Potty stool. So maybe that does have something to do with getting the colon to move things along.
Sunsweet brand has a plum juice light , not as sweet and less calories . Tastes good .
Like me I go through cheese cravings, Mac and cheese, cheeses on top of my cheese. Then , I'm like oh no! And eat a bunch of oatmeal, them I'm like oh no again!
So try to keep a consistent diet. Hopefully others have some better suggestions
