hello how does everyone deal with bowl incontinence I’m having a really hard time dealing with this and I don’t what to do?
All we can do is try our best to minimize the risks of accidents as best as we can and be prepared for the worst 24 /7 im afraid. Of course this isent nice and i HATE it from the bottom of my heart and soul. BUT i dont have a chice i have to try to stay on top of this as best i can. Incl High qulity Diapers and the rest of the Products needed for this living curse 
ok I just hate dealing with this but am afraid to talk to my family doc about because Idk what she will suggest or say I’m kinda afraid she’s gonna say I need to wear full time thought I only wear part time right now
The best thing to do is wear protection that can handle the bowel ic. Then the best way to clean up is with baby wipes and showering

Bowl incontinence is definitely something you should discuss with your doctor. There is no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed, issues like this are why doctors exist. There could be underlying intestinal problems that need to be diagnosed. Even of there is no complete cure, you should be informed of what the cause is and how to best deal with it. I would suggest only using plastic backed diapers and vinyl diaper covers to help contain smells incase of poopooing in public.

Belive me i understand i started (when again geting my flipping IC ( fecal ) with just having to wear when out and about so to say well as you can see were i am now 24 /7 .
You need to try to loose the guilt first of all yes i know its embaricing and all that BUT neither of us have chosen to have this problems . and sadly if you dont get checked out so they can determan if and if so what is wrong the odds of things geting worse is HUGE as this sadly do progress with time IF untreated.
Further more NOONE needs to know other then those closest around you.
If you have more then a few " accidents " /week then im afraid its time to wear this 24 / 7 and above all take a deep breath and go see the doc. Diapers are the usual option yes BUT there are also other help to get and if you get this checked and takend care of NOW you most defently have higher chances of perhaps geting this under control . Do as i did and do nothing : Well i belive my profile and sig tells that story and you DONT wont this i assure you that so better go and get this checked out my friend **(Note i was however doomed to both be born with and then calm down to again get IC as this is sadly well known Co morbid diagnosis to my main ones so DONT compare youre self to me to much please ) **
Unless you are a minor, your health records are private so, disclosing to anyone is your choice.
As others said, go to the doctor to understand what is happening to you.

short term, nappies may be an answer, but you really need to get this checked out urgently, sudden onset bowel incontinence is not very usual. So regardless of what you think your doctor may say, it’s important you get an early and correct diagnosis.

well I’m deffently not a minor lol I’m 35yrs old but I also have lots of other health issues I deal with too like NF1 that’s for any of you who know what that is but yes I will follow up with my doc on wed as I have a phone consultation with her
I will say that wearing and using 24/7 is not the worst thing. I have been that way all my life

24/7 is not that bad - l have been my whole life. Honestly don’t even think about it except when it needs to be changed. And it has NEVER stopped me from doing anything so…
Had to check that but thats seems terrible indeed
Good choice my friend ( thumbs up)
