Hi Angie! I've had my pouch since 1991 and I've learned to live with it... it gets easier once your know your trigger points . Any exercising, sports, shopping or walking or certain foods, like chocolate, I look for a John so I have a plan. Try taking only half an Imodium, at bedtime or when shopping or use a treadmill. Find your happy balance. I wear a LONG, thin ALWAYS pad (thinner than DEPENDS products) for incontinence in case I have leakage and carry an extra pad AND either triple antibiotic creme or Calmoseptine in my make up bag. After a while this becomes your NEW NORMAL. No one know what you are going through and it is private. But when I compare this management to my life BEFORE my surgery, I realize that as difficult as this is in the beginning, this is a blessing. I promise, you will find what works for you to manage all of this. Ps. I carry Imodium in my purse too alone with Phazyne. I pray you find your comfort zone soon. Take care 🙏🥰
