In a different thread I wrote about F-IC but it got side-tracked by other (sometimes angry) members. I would hope I could talk and ask about how to moderate fecal incontinence. I just hope we don't get side-tracked again because it might be shut down for "not open for further replies" and the questions are important.
Having urinal incontinence isn't actually easier. But I think many agree that F-IC is simply more difficult for managing. U-IC and F-IC, at least for most, diapers are required.
I've always been diaper dependent. Not sure if it was better for someone who has always been diapered verses being newly IC. I haven't had anything different. And I've accepted IC for quite a while. It's not new.
Having to wear a diaper makes working for a career is burdensome and stressful. U-IC means changing can be difficult but it can be managed. It's different than F-IC. I rarely have daytime BM accidents. Most of the accidents are nocturnal or early morning. So I don't really worry about these accidents while working. In fact I haven't had a BM while working. I have had a few when I was shopping or simply being out in public but like I said it's rare.
Trying to moderate BM accidents can make life much easier. Diet plans, using internal deodorant and physical exercise are the obvious moderation. Diet is important.
For quite a while I've added more fiber and psyllium. Most by my internist advice. Increased bulk and easier elimination. It caused more frequency (usually twice a day) but the consistency is much better (mostly solid, not firm). I've also used chlorophyll (Nullo) so BM odor is extremely limited. And everyday I exercise (walking and cycling).
What do you do for moderating BM accidents. A quality diaper is also important too. What kind of foods do you eat? And the timing? How about the type of exercise? What do you add for moderating?
