Bowel or fecal incontinence and how to manage it

@jackiem95 @jeanne51 I have recently started eating prunes because they’re good for osteoporosis! It’s sort of a symbiotic relationship between calcium and prunes. Calcium, which is recommended of course for osteoporosis, tends to be constipating, and prunes are the opposite, so it works out well! I do find there is a delicate balance in how many prunes I can eat. Six is the number recommended for osteoporosis but three is my max.

@jackiem95 ...I do best with Miralax or the various Big Box Stores' generics. I take a 12 oz glass of water with a large measure of the lax about every third day. I do eat a few prunes, but I have better luck with a good bowl of grits and eggs.

@conrenandwell Thanks for your reply. I have previously used dried prunes for a couple of years but had to quit because they gave me so much gas. Now that I have the rectal weakness issue and don't know if it is gas or stool sensation that I feel this is no longer a good solution.
