Uncontrollable bowel: By that do you mean diarrhea? How long has it lasted? Are bms watery or just soft? Any red blood or black tarry stools? Kaopectate (kaolin and pectin) can slow down diarrhea as can increased dietary fiber, but should be evaluated by pcp to check for infectious cause or tumor. May need stool culture as well as colonoscopy to check everything out (especially if there is family history of colon cancer).
