Dealing with my incontinence

[Wink]

I have both to some extent.If I am close to a rest room I can make it some times.In one respect most of the time once I make it through the morning my bowels will be OK till the next morning.I do have some leakage now and then but not a full bowel movement like in the morning.It most of the time is a small bit and I could get away with it if not for the smell which is my biggest fear of the whole thing.Is having a slip around people that can smell me.I have been taking Nullo for the past few days but so far has not stopped the smell when I do have a bowel movement.If it just works I can deal with having a little bit of a dirty diaper till I get home or some where to change.I have had to change one time away from home and a shower and that sucks.I was in a handy cap stall with a sink and I do carry a wash cloth and soap in a bag I keep in the car.I hate to think what it will be like if I have a big BM and have to change with out a shower.The wetting I deal with with no trouble.But bowel incontinence is another whole ball game away from home.We travel quite a bit.And one consolation is we camp and have a RV trailer most of the time if traveling.So if worse comes to worse I can clean up in the trailer shower, in a rest area or where ever I can stop.It has not came to that yet but I do wet my self quite a bit on the road.But in a way since this happen to me I travel more relaxed than before when I would just leak now and then wondering if I would make the next rest area.

To some it up accepting diapers made my life better as now I don`t worry so much about wetting my self.The bowel incontinence some what less optimistic but working on it and still do every thing I did before this happen to me.As I said if I can control the smell and it does not get any worse It will just be a little inconvenience to me.
I have only been like this for about four months and have learned a lot.

Activated Charcoal is your best option for fast results. I have been taking that for several weeks. If I stop for a day the smells return. When I remember to take it the smells go away the next day or two.

I tried Nullo and it does work after two or more weeks.

Doug where do you find the Charcoal?I have never heard of it.

Most pharmacies and some supplement stores carry it.
