Dear Joy,
Aricept is known to be very hard on the stomach and bowels. It is one of the side effects. Can you speak with your husband's doctor about stopping the Aricept and starting something else?? I use an Exelon patch instead of Aricept. Please, ask his doctor ASAP!!

Good Luck

Keep us posted

Peace and Hope,


Lisa
