I agree that incontinence is the worst part of the disease. Well, maybe second to pain, but it is awful. I often wonder if anyone else could be as out of control as I am, but I guess it is a frequent...
My favorite meal is turkey burger with boiled potatoes and cooked green beans. I keep frozen meatballs on hand and can eat them with pasta and tomato sauce. Butternut squash (frozen is very smooth)...
This is such an ongoing fear I have. if it weren't so humiliating, I would love to have an accident right in the store and let them clean it up. I sure hope the bathroom access bill passes in...
Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions. I will give them a try. The Syntha -6 sounds quite good. I'm wary of the one with so much fat because I don't absorb fat well at all, but who knows. If...

Thanks everyone so much for all your thoughts. I tried some yogurt cheese yesterday which said it was lactose free, and I got sick. But maybe it was because of the jalapeno in it! I know, that...
Two years after my resection I have still been struggling with frequent diarrhea. Other than the fact that I haven't been in pain, which is a very good thing, my symptoms haven't gone away as I'd...
