Bowel or fecal incontinence and how to manage it

I had my large bowel removed 2 years ago. I have had diarrhea since. I have had fecal incontinence a few times. It happens when I am ill. Once I had a constant bowel movement contractions for several hours. I just stayed in my hotel room and read. It was borderline from discomfort to pain. There are several brands of diapers for these situations but I have found Knix brand panties to be useful. These panties come with several levels of padding from none (regular underwear) to 5 ( 5 tablespoons of liquid). They also have wonderful colors. Made me feel good about myself.

There is someone on another thread looking for someone who has had their large colon removed - maybe you can connect!
