Reply to "Pouch/anal training... How???"

Pelvic floor exercises? Planks? Bridges? Those are all of the exercises that I did regularly pre-pouch (37yrs ago) due to incontinence.

Like I said, it was pre-pouch...

If it is just urgency then your brain will slowly do the work for you and you will be able to train it out of the knee-jerk reflex but if it is physical incontinence you need both your brain and your body to cooperate with eachother and that can be both exercise and maybe biofeedback.

Can you 'talk yourself through it'...Sort of tell yourself...'I am now in the sitting position, I am going to stand up...first I am going to tighten those muscles, then slowly stand up...' It can send a message to your brain/body connection and help both to react correctly.

If not maybe a PT could help you.

ps. Having a k pouch I know nothing about stool thickeners or other bowel slowers...I need the opposite gut reaction...j pouchers can help you with that.
