Bowel or fecal incontinence and how to manage it

I have had a jpouch since 1996, and in Nov 2023, I began having night time incontinence, it seemed to come on suddenly. I don't go to bed without a pad or some type of incontinence underwear, I always wake up too late, not usually a big amount, but can be numerous times/night. I take Imuran, Imodium 6-8 tabs/day, Cipro or Flagyl, and Metamucil daily to try to thicken or bulk up stool, but still is very loose (pudding like). I am going to Mayo next week for a scope of my pouch, a manometry procedure & a later a MR Proctogram imagery. I am hoping to get some answers and solutions. Best of luck with your issues.

Oh my goodness- that sounds very difficult - I’m not familiar with what a “jpouch” is but it sounds difficult - for whatever reason, I’ve never had night time incontinence 🤷‍♀️
I’d love to hear more about your journey! Good luck at Mayo
