I second the suggestion of trying bulk-forming foods and eliminating anything with a lot of fiber. Seriously try for an entire week to just eat bananas, rice, white bread, skinned potatoes, puddings, etc., and see if it helps. You should notice a difference pretty quick. Metamucil 2-3X/day can thicken things up and might help with leakage. Have you tried a lot fo dietary changes? Sorry if you have and we are suggesting the obvious. Also, drinking high-calorie Boost with each meal might help with weight gain, as well as protein drinks if you can afford them. What does your doctor say? There are prescription medications that can slow things down if ammonium isn't working. Hope you are perking up soon and wish you the best-it does get better!
