Diet modification: Sounds like you may be lactose intolerant, but if you are not leaking still into your underwear a simple diet plan with a nutritionist could solve the problem. If there are other issues with loose stool and incontinence, you need to visit s gastroenterologist who will get a good history, do a good exam, and suggest next steps
