..and it happened again. Was on my way home from visiting my fiancee. I even went to the bathroom to poop at the store where she worked. But apparently, it wasnt enough, as when I was on my way home from that, my bowels persistently told me they need to release. I let some gas out, but then they started pushing.. and eventually I couldnt stop it. This is the 2nd time in a month it has happened, in the car. Perhaps it's time to see a gastrointestinal specialist to see if I have issues with the nerves in my gut. Because I JUST WENT #2 before this happened. Its frustrating and worriesome, because if happened at work, I'd have to go home to clean up and possibly get a point. I have been taking Emma relief capsules, and it has resulted in keeping regular, but perhaps its not enough, because invariably this sort of issue is due to constipation. Anyway..


Peace out!

Rob

There is nothing that is more deflating than that agony of defeat! My full sympathies.

I have trouble with diarrhea instead, but the end result is much the same.

I had gone out for an hour long walk. But on the way home, I felt a growing sense of urgency for the diarrhea. I stopped at my parked truck to get something, thinking I still had time. But standing still made it even more urgent. Before I knew it, a little spurt went into my pull-up. That in turn opened the flood gates, with the body pushing most of it out.

I still had a ways to walk back to the apartment building. Once I got there, I had to time entering so as to avoid sharing an elevator with someone. I mean I really stank (my bad).

I have since returned to taking the chlorophyl capsules because I don't want to face that again. I think the two ladies in the parking lot may have smelled me walking by, it was so bad.

I am currently experimenting with Whole Psyllium Husks to see if that reduces/eliminates the diarrhea. It looks promising. I started with low dosages initially, not wanting to become constipated. I am now using a level teaspoon in the morning with a full cup of water.

If I can't find a solution to this diarrhea I'll have to start wearing a serious diaper for containment in the day time. For the moment, I've been able to get by with a pull-up. But I know full well that the pull-up will not contain the diarrhea if I have to sit in it and drive home. That would be defeating since I still have fairly good urinary control, as long as I don't let my bladder get too full. Quitting coffee has helped immensely on that front.
