A member asked:
What dietary changes should one make to their diet if they are suffering from fecal incontinence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Formed for control: Adding sufficient fiber to ensure a formed stool, will help you control movements by creating a more predictable movement and help to maintain hygiene. 30 grams of fiber daily would be a goal to shoot for, presuming there is no history of impaction.
