Welcome to Connect, @coliemore.
Let me introduce you to a few members. Please meet @lamerex4 @travelgirl and @starrlight, who have (had) rectal cancer, as well as @aithnie and @cowboy1997 who have experienced fecal incontinence.
Coliemore, when did you have the low anterior resection (LAR) and reversal?
I found this study (systematic review) that demonstrated that Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation can Improve Functional Outcome After a Low Anterior Resection https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4079807/ Have you done any physical therapy and pelvic floor rehab?

@coliemore, what are SNES needles? I'm quite confident that you are not referring to Super Nintendo Entertainment System
While we wait for other members to join in, here some information about treatment and self-management of fecal incontinence http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/fecal-incontinence/diagnosis-treatment/treatment/txc-20166903
We also have several videos about this issue. For example

Dear Colleen Very many thanks. I have had four sessions of SNES needles with electrical pulses via PF therapist here in Vancouver and also anal sphincter exercises to try to strengthen but inconclusive and much issue with cluster BM's. Advice appreciated on FI treatment. David
