A member asked:
Is it possible that too much heavy exercising affect bowel control.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prob not: There really should be no negative affect between exercise and bowel control. Many body builders use high protein shakes/bars etc and these can cause loose bowels but still should not have any issue with control. Control issues may be with nerves or rectal muscle weakness. U should see medical doctor to discuss further.
