People with Fecal Incontinence: Psyllium Fiber?

My problem is that I have to do this for dad. He won't participate in his own Healthcare.

So when I need information from him he sometimes tells me something useful and sometimes hides stuff from me.

So far what seems to be working is immodium/lomitil, psyllium fiber, moderate water, and no caffeine, and no artificial sweeteners. And by "work I mean" 3 accidents a day instead of 6

That's really tough and difficult. I'm sorry.

Since he has trouble swallowing the capsules and can't handle the slurry, maybe gradually bump up the number of gummies since you're not dealing with constipation, but with diarrhea?

I'd also suggest a chat with somebody from the people who treated his rectal cancer... they may have some better suggestions or know of someone who does.

Hope this helps.
