The Bottoms up project - dealing with constipation
Skip to:
The Bottoms Up project was created in response to learning from the LeDeR Programme. This shows that people with learning disabilities are more likely to suffer with constipation.
We will create guidelines for carers about constipation for people with learning disabilities.
The guidelines will include:
- signs of constipation
- medical treatments drugs that can cause constipation
- hydration and nutrition
- lifestyle (including types of exercise that can help with constipation)
- behavioural problems associated with constipation.
