Consider PT: There are some non-surgical ways to improve incontinence. Adding fiber and even Imodium (loperamide) may make the stools firmer, making incontinence less likely. Also consider physical therapy for pelvic floor weakness. Unsupervised kegel exercises are often not very effective. A colon and rectal surgeon can help you with this.

Options: Increase fiber in diet, strengthen pelvic floor with Kegels. Look for Butterfly pads sold in stores like Target. Recommend gastroenterology or colorectal consultation for other causes, testing and treatment
