Brief Answer: Detailed answer given below Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you. Three things are essential for good bowel movements - 1. Adequate fiber intake 2. Adequate intake of fluids 3. Good physical activity. So make sure that he takes high fiber diet ( lots of vegetables and fruits), drink enough fluids and has good physical activity. You can consider giving him fiber supplements initially to facilitate good bowel movements. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr.Ratnakar Kini
