Yes, it is still active but sometimes it takes time for others to see your posts. Also if you reply to a post it is more likely to get their attention. You never know what settings people have.
I just bet you are not alone in this, I know for fact my next door neighbor lady has exactly the same problem. She said that now she wished she had opted for the bag, at least she could go somewhere without fear of a mess.
I hope some others with this issue will jump on and talk with you.
What have you tried to make it better?

I actually prefer this to the bag. I had incredible trouble with the bag the 5 -6 weeks I wore it.
Thanks for your input Chris. I have had a couple of replies to my posts and they are much appreciated.
I have tried added fiber, Benefiber I think it's called and I believe it does help by consolidating the product of my bowels.
I'm so glad this discussion is still active.

The only thing I have tried that has worked at all is Immodium. It gives me a couple of days BM free. I use it on the two days a week I work. It has worked well for about 2-3 months until this past Saturday when it didn't work. Then along came Sunday and I could barely get out of the bathroom at all.
