No defecation since 6 days

2025-02-16 12:27:56
My mother in law is bed ridden and fed through ryles tube. Since last 6 days she didnt defecate. Earlier her bowel was normal like once in a day or 2 as she is on liquid diet but not it stopped. We tried some home remedies but didn't work and i am afraid of giving any laxative becoz she is very weak and might not be able to tolerate if it coberts to diarrhea. Please help.
