A member asked:

How is it possible for people with a spinal cord injury control their bowels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

With careful plans: Something called a bowel program is developed with medications, use of the gastrocolic reflex and careful timing of rectal stimulation. Trying to get a consistent schedule with complete emptying of the bowel limits accidents.
