Hi njzmom,
I myself do not have fecal incontinence but I have a family member who does. She finds it very upsetting, as it comes on rapidly and is not controllable. She now wears Depends just in case it happens, even while at home, as it can strike suddenly.
I hope you find some help with the problem.
I avoid MANY outings, depending on the time of day and if I am certain of having a restroom nearby.
I have never had a loss of bowel during the night. I always wear protection, day and night. As soon as I feel a little “confident” and don’t wear it, I usually have an accident - so frustrating!
