Disimpaction with undigested food.

2 Replies

Hi. My son was recently started on a disimpaction regime after an xray showed he was impacted. He was only on the regime for a few days and hadn't reached the watery poo stage and he had undigested food in his poo that he'd eaten the previous night! I am a bit confused, is it possible that it could have bypassed the impacted stool? Thanks.

Yes food can bypass stools in the bowel. Keep going with the disimpaction
