Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As far as my clinical experience is concerned, there is alteration in gut flora mechanics due to laxatives. It is the dosage of laxatives which have provoked frequency of stools in pants.

I recommend to get dose titration for laxative, stop further enema and suppository consumption along with dietary care, probiotics to heal intestine mucosa faster.

Do give me further chance to assist in future.

Thank you.
