I have a hospital appointment next week.
I have been leaking at night for over a year now and my doctor doesn't really do much. Is there any treatment I could ask them to try that might fix it? Thanks

I remember having issues my first year, off and on, that gradually tapered off.
I never needed Immodium or thickeners, but those are a thought. Do you use anything to thicken the consistency, or slow your gut down?
Also, I Kegel'd like a champ, during the loop ileostomy time, and through the first year, to strengthen my sphincters.

Yes I take up to 8 immodium a day along with 2 cipro. And I try to do kegals every day
Sometimes the problem has nothing to do with thickness of the stool or stool thickener.
My problem and I do use lomotal and it works like a champ... But my problem is when I do fall asleep now
I relax and Boom... Out it comes everytime.
It's a pain but boy do I need my sleep and am so happy to get what I do get.
I am at the point where I will take a couple accidents to get that O so wonderful sleep.

When I have nighttime leakage it's a sign of pouchitis. Antibiotics fix me up. I do take Lomotil at bedtime, which works better for me than Imodium.
