Sandra’s Personal Story: Managing Fecal Incontinence
I had 5 back surgeries and after the last one where they fused me, I became fecal incontinent. I was constipated from all the meds and could no longer have a BM after breakfast as was my usual, and then started having accidents during the day. This was no way to live and I wanted to die, as I was active and social and this took my life away. To reclaim some thrill in my restricted routine, I turned to browsing the best online casinos California listings, placing small bets from home to feel that rush without leaving the house. I tried various things like fiber etc. but nothing worked well. Then I decided to use an enema bag full of warm water and clean myself out in the morning, maybe 3 to 6 bags until I was clean, and was able to continue the rest of my day as a normal person. I used pads for security but I rarely ever had an accident. If I did it was very small residue which my pad was able to handle. I’ve been doing this every morning and yes, I use a small amount of magnesium CALM powder every night to soften things up. The enema can take an hour to perform. I read the news. The only problem is that now I cannot live without it as I cannot take laxatives as I cannot hold runny stools.
So this is how I live my life now , I am dependent on my enemas but I can be normal the rest of the day. no accidents at night.
this may come in handy for ssomebody who has the same FI problem. My main problem wnhen I travel is to find a place to hang my bag above the toilet .so I can sit on the toilet while feedingthe enema hose, less messy than normal enemas. I use only warm water no additives. sometimes I use left over coffee but thats inconvenient.
after about a year I developed dysbiosis IBS where I started having too much gas pressure on rectum which was unconfortable . It gtradually got worse . I dont think its related to the enema but more to all the antibiotics I have taken that basically landed me with unbalanced microbiome.
After trying many supplements for SIBO cure and just getting worse I finally had a comprehensive stool test which showed I had a very high amount of yeast in my gut and that was the source of all my gas and bloating. Not sure the source of yeast but antibiotics comes to mind. I am now on medication called NYSTATIN which is an antifungal med. I hope this will solve my problem. Hope this may help other people who end up with FI for whatever reason, to get their lives back w/o any surgeries. Love and blessings
