Bowel or fecal incontinence and how to manage it

Posted by Sarah @emyliander, Jun 11, 2019

I am 73 yr old femal with diagnosed Celiac, Microscopic Colitis and IBS. i don’t have diarrhea, BM’s are either soft formed or constipated small hard stool, but either way I can be incontenant of small amount of stool. I wear a pad in close knit underwear with legs, so nothing can escape. Any advice from people with same problem would be comforting and useful. I would like to know how you handled it on social occasions.
Thank you, Emyliander

...... interesting to read but I cannot offer help as have f.i. and ibs-d and other bowel issues started after pelvic radiation decades ago and c diff 2018... am having a horrible time. Its not as it started with sudden diarrheaa, now it seems on and off (mostly on) all day long. Can barely leave the house... have tried the Tpaper wadded up but may try the b-sure if can get them in Canada. Am drained. Not only doesnt matter what I eat, sometimes the pain is almost unbearable... older and nothing works.. so one dr mildly suggested having colon taken out but I dont think can handle it with other illnesses... its good to pass along suggestions, thanks!
