I fear that my worst fears are a measure of things to come. But I really want to be wrong about this!
Two years ago I had an accident just like the one Bob described in the first post in this thread. At work, but in my underwear since I was not urinary IC at the time. Then last summer, I had an accident in the middle of the night trying to make it to the outhouse (from the cabin). Then yesterday, as I tried to make it from my bed in the morning to the toilet. And nearly this morning also, as I hurried downstairs from my office to get to the facilities (after I thought it was all over). In all cases, it was diarrhea. Except for the first time, at least I was protected. But still! This sucks.
I've sworn off of microwave popcorn, which was a fav for watching the NFL. I may have to give up fast food as well, not that I ate a lot. All of this has me very concerned.
I heard that there is a metformin that has a slower release ("extended release" ER?) If so, I plan to ask my doctor about that. I am taking the max dose of Janumet (Janumet = Metformin + Januvia), and wonder if that might alleviate things.
