re incontinence...

when I am asleep if I do not take precautions there is a big mess...

have no control of my sphincter muscles and when the body is

relaxed totally in sleep then there is no control

and the stool flows out, ugly mess sometimes...wish

there was something that could be done

any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated

You haven’t given us much background, Lionel. What have you tried? How new is your pouch? How long has this been going on?

It’s possible that you have pouchitis.

I have had my j-pouch for about 20 years and overall it works very well.

not sure about having pouchitis...if I try and take a sleep aid like too much melatonin or lorazapam then the problem occurs.

Does the problem only occur when you take sleep aids? I’ve avoided them completely out of concern over exactly that issue.
