What products work best for bowel incontinence?
I need help finding what briefs work best for bowel incontinence. I’m 20 years post anal surgery and I have Ulcerative Colitis. The colitis started after starting a driving job. I have been threw a bunch of medical tests for tumors and now bowel leakage is a problem. I have to wear protection when traveling. Many breifs I buy leak if I have a urge flow. This has been getting worse and I need better protection. Brian

Just diagnosed with acute gastritis and ulcerative colitis. Is it normal not to have a bowel movement yet?
I got severe bloody diarrhea last tues around 2:30 am until about 12pm on Wed. I was rushed to the hospital/admitted and put on fluids (sodium chloride and potassium) and later dextrose for Wed-Friday none stop.. Today is now Monday and I still havent had a bowel movement since Wed. I am getting concerned. I mete with my internist and gastrologist this Thurs as a followup so I definetly with let them know. I am also on 500mg of Flagyl 3 times a day and once a day of Levaquin 500mg once a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned that I havent went yet? Is it side effect from the meds or the potassium?
