HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider the use of a probiotics along with a liquid diet for now.
The probiotics would help to restore the normal bacteria to the colon and would assist in returning normal bowel function. They can be found on their own or in foods such as yogurt.
You can use light soups for now. If he is able to tolerate this for 24 hours then you can move on to dry foods.
I hope this helps
