Many options.: Try fiber and Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) and avoiding foods that agitate your leaking. If this does not work then consider pelvic muscle rehab which can be done in the office and is non invasive. Check internet for a local provider of this service. If this fails their are other treatments available. Check with a colorectal surgeon or a urogynecologist.
