Yes, and I managed to get the first 2 stools out that way, but I can't move these remaining ones. I didn't want to massage too hard until we got the Xrays and were sure there wasn't any twist or obstruction.

I've tube fed him liquid food once, but he won't voluntarily take anything solid, and I don't want to force feed him solid food and make it worse. My hope is to tube feed him again, but with oil in the feed, then go back to baths and massage.

I'd be really grateful for any other ideas, he's had this problem since September last year and he's now losing weight so it's time for an intervention.
