Since I have so many diseases and conditions all mixed into one, it’s super hard to decipher which symptoms belong to what. I’ve been having a new and embarrassing symptom of my IBS. I’ve been having fecal incompetence flares. It’s not all the time and I don’t feel it happening. When it does happen I can’t stop it. This makes me so mad at myself and my body for being this way. Any advice or suggestions?

It sounds odd but get yourself some period underwear and extra large pads. There is special underwear they make for heavy flow periods so it’s designed to catch all that. It’s an awful new symptom and I totally get it but this has really helped me. I’ve noticed and been able to figure out that it happens when I’m finally completely relaxed. I have a lot of different illnesses too and I’m generally fairly tense from all the pain and everything. But when I’m just completely exhausted and finally sleep like I’m in a coma or have to take meds for the pain my body relaxes a little too much and, well you know. I see the signs now and when I feel too relaxed (finally) I wear that underwear to bed l, sometimes with a extra large pad on too, and it’s helped a lot. I’m so sorry, I know how terrible this is and I hope it gets better. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Track it using cara care!! If you can find a pattern you can take Imodium on the days it’s going to be the worst or avoid things that trigger it
