As I am fecal incontinent, I found it very interesting that the Japanese are developing a small electronic sensor that monitors stomach distension to give you about 10 minutes of advance warning of a bowel movement. I do not know how practical it would be, but for me 10 minutes warning of an approaching BM is more than I have had for many years and would prevent my bowel accidents. The device has not yet been manufactured. I think the price was predicted to be about $200. http://www.odditycentral.com/technology ... oilet.html If you read the article, tell us what you think about it. --John |

Good find. I think that could help a lot of people that can't tell when it will happen. The main problem I could see with this device is that people that have no fecal retention may not get a distended stomach before a bowel movement happens. A distended stomach would imply there is a blockage. If the rectum is not working it may not create the blockage needed to cause any distention. Doug |

It sounds pretty good as an idea. would quite like something other than just listening for windy noises! Without sensation I have to listen and I am usually successful but this idea might be just the job! |
