If the bowel movements and incontinence are coming right after eating, you may have a motility issue.  Loperamide will not help for motility issues- it's an anti-diarrheal, not an anti-spasmodic.  You need to take an anti-spasmodic 45 minutes before meals and at bedtime if in fact that is the issue.  I had a lot of motility issues right after takedown.  It can be out of whack for a while after any bowel surgery.

Thanks, CTB,

the bowel movements are not coming right after eating, although maybe a little.

Not sure what a motility issue is. Something to do with the how the bowel moves the food through?
