Bowel urgency: Any suggestions?

I was 85# now 80#'s & I was a certified nurses aide. Rest assured, no leaks. But, if you're worried, a medical supply store supplies bed chucks. It's a blue light plastic square that goes neath you bottom. Cotton side up. You'll rest much better w knowing you can sleep w/o worrying abt an accident. I had an accident at hospital & I poured out on floor. Got yelled at. Threw up. & no one came to clean the tossed mess. I fell asleep w some still on my feet. Oakwood gone Beaumont now Corewell Hospital in Dbn MI horrible hygiene & care for patients. I wouldn't kennel my dog their

I’m sorry you were treated so badly.

Thanx :/

You may have gluten intolerance or celiac disease. This happens to me when I eat gluten. I get lose stools or diarrhea. Watch to see if it happens after you eat bread products or anything with gluten. It took me while to figure it out. I have havld bad Accidents in stores and it was awful. My daughter has Celiac Disease.

Thank you for your reply. I've now had the Axonics permanent implant for 3 weeks. I am experiencing less urgency and fewer bowel movements plus they are solid now so I have more time to get to the bathroom. It's the one with the rechargeable battery which is supposed to last for 15-20 years. Now I'm done in the bathroom by 8:30 am. I feel like I've gotten my life back! Yes, my gastro doc had me on a bile acid sequestrant (cholestryamine) and I tried Bentyle as well. Like I said, I've tried EVERYTHING. None of it worked for me. My problem is nerve damage - presumably from giving birth, which unfortunately has gotten worse and worse over the years.

I had to break down and go with Depends-type pull-ups, and it was tough emotionally, but I had no choice after several embarrassing accidents due to EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. Pull-ups usually work well enough for me. Actual tape diapers are too uncomfortable on my small frame, as I have lost a lot of weight.

I’ve been on Viberzi for about 6 years and it’s pretty much changed my life (77). Started with twice daily, but now I only take once in the morning.

I have had IBS-D for forty years and am also gluten sensitive. I can't take Viberzi or any newer drugs for IBS because Medicare won't cover it. I can't afford over $1000.00 a month and make too much to get help from the company. Bentyl does help the pain but not the amount of times I have to run to the loo.

I’ve used a Walgreens coupon as well as a CareRx coupon at different times. Both have brought the price down to the low $400s for 60, which last me for 2 months.

I meant to write a reply to you but posted it as a comment below, Sorry for the double post.

LOWFOD diet, Creon, and peppermint oil have brought me relief, but it is not a 100% cure for EPI or bowel urgency. I am just relieved that it is mostly under control.
