DH was admitted to hospital 3 months ago, in March, after a routine blood test at the surgery found he had a dangerously low red cell count.
He's very private with his health problems and won't discuss them with me, so I have very little knowledge of what exactly is wrong with him.
Since then he has lost 2 and a half stone. He was overweight and looks better for it, but he has also developed urgent diarrhoea and stomach cramps.
I persuaded him to go back to his GP, he would not allow me to go with him, and after much nagging from me he told me she'd diagnosed IBS. So I'm being very careful with his diet, so far without improvement.
Last week he came back from buying his newspaper with a 4 pint container of full fat milk which he drank that day. He's continued to do this every day since.
His diarrhoea, weight loss and cramps continue.
He flatly refuses to go back to the doctor.
How do I deal with this idiot man? He is 87.
