That’s one of the most degrading issues I have had in the past.
Being unable to clean yourself after having a bm was very hard for me.
I was embarassed even with my husband doing it.
I could sense how repulsed he was when I would have a very messy stool or diarrhea.
The best thing I did was get a toilet seat that cleanses you with water and even has a dryer mode.
I bought it on Amazon and it’s the best thing I ever did.
Lately I’ve been having severe cramping and diarrhea episodes after eating dinner sometimes.
I never know what the culprit is, and when it will strike.
As a result I’m afraid to go out and eat too far from home for fear of an accident.
I can’t imagine being out somewhere and having an episode.
I have done some testing for celiac disease, and some malabsorption diseases.
So far they were negative, even stool testing I did.
I do have an appt at my gastroenterologist next week to discuss results.
Hope she has some answers for me.
I did have emergency surgery last Nov for a tear in my intestine, and this was when this started,months after the surgery.

Thank you soooooo much for your comment. Have been seriously looking into the bidet addition for months now, wondering if the toilet seat versions might work as well as the standalones available to us when growing up in Europe. Am told eventually may be in the same boat, and not all bathrooms in the US are large enough to accommodate the standalones.
