My mom is up in her 70s and with age constipation as the digestive tract
dries
out a bit. I want to put in a taller toilet bowl, so that she sits up
higher,
that it will assist in crapping process.

I would like to get one that flushes a full 5 gallons and that is
handicapped
heighth. What am I looking for, 18 inches? Will I have to buy this used or
do
they make decent toilets any longer?


I would go to an medical supply store and get an padded seat riser.
We bought one for our father after surgery. Bolts on to the bowl and is
quite comfortable.
