Hello. From the symptoms you described, looks like your father is suffering from IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) with gastritis. Use of high dose laxative may be very dangerous at his condition and age, as they may cause sever electrolyte imbalance, which may be the cause of memory loss. Kindly follow up in my clinic as further clinical examination and detailed info regarding previous treatment received is needed to help him medically. It is difficult to advise him medications without examining him personally. Hope this helps.
