With Fecal Incontinence How Often Do You Poop?

[Nat]

This is for those with fecal incontinence.

as i get about 5 mins of leed time i cant say what others do but for me it all depends on how much you eat

What's leed time? Is that some typo? I couldn't make out what you were trying to say there.

I have nerve damage and like dlsmd I have very little warning if any and like babykeiff I eat small amounts during the day and a larger meal when I get home which helps. I have a continence advisor (specialized nurse) who put me on a bowel management program to help with timing and learning to deal with it.

I have a scar somewhere in my guts, and it has been acting up for a few months, causing me lots of pain. I take lots of fluids and laxatives (polyethylene glycol, magnesium, and docusate sodium) to keep things soft and moving. I have 5 or 10 minutes of lead time, usually, although this is improving, and if I am not close to a bathroom I end up with a load in my diaper. That part happens once or twice a week, usually when I am outside exercising and a mile or more from a toilet.

I have to go 3-4 times a day; I take fiber and try to eat lots of fruit (more fiber) to help lubricate things, and dicyclomine to help with the pain. This will almost certainly resolve itself, as they found out I have sleep apnea and now am feeling much better on a CPAP, since I am sleeping better.

usually i wake up needing to be changed. during the day 3-4 times unless im sick or have really bad anxiety then i have more accidents.
