Passing Stools While asleep!!!

Help! I was diagnosed around 5 years ago and this has never happened before.....Has this ever happened to any of you guys??? Thanks

The only time I've had this happen is when I'm in the hospital on IV pain meds and am either flaring or have c. diff. or both. The pain meds knock me out and relax me too much. Is it D or solid stools? Are you taking meds to help you sleep at night or for pain? Have you had any surgeries and/or a fistula around the sphincter muscle?

I think that having that much fiber might be causing some of it. Having that much fiber when you're already having loose stools may not be the wisest decision right now. I would also give your GI a call and let them know. In the meantime, as crummy as it may sound, you may want to pick up some of those adult incontinence pads so that cleanup at night isn't a problem.

My guess is that the change in diet is causing the sleeping sharts. Typically when people change their diet to include a lot more veggies and salads it causing several days of gas as the body adjusts to the new/different diet. I always seem to wake up in a panic when I flare and barely make or barely miss it on the way to the bathroom, but if your body thinks it is only passing gas but it's more I can see that happen while sleeping through it. I say this only because you said it is a small amount and didn't sound like you are having a full bowel movement.
