Hi,
Since he is an elderly person his kidney function should be assessed before giving milk of magnesia.
The common causes of flareups include infection and NSAIDs.
Treat infection if it is present.
Avoid NSAIDs.
Avoid insoluble fibers and high amount of dairy products to prevent flareup.
Thanks for answering my question. How do we prevent flareups. Lung cancer diagnosis was changed to lung inflammation. Colonoscopy is scheduled for December 18 and I cannot get any information from the dr. until after the colonoscopy. If you could answer this, I'd really appreciate.
