Reply to "Incontinent but with good sphincter muscle tone"

I have finished the metronidazole (Flagyl) and there wasn't much of an improvement in the end. I am now trying an antispasmodic drug called Mebeverine as from a couple of days ago. My bowel is quite calm with this although last night the stool was pushing through because my bowel was quite full. I am still not able to hold the stool in on a night until my bowel is empty, which is from around 2am.

My bowel is calmer now because it is in the morning when it isn't full. I feel my muscles may be getting a little stronger as I can hold the stool in a bit on an afternoon although there is still a bit of leaking.

I aim to try psyllium husk or an alternative like Fybogel soon. Depends what's available. Is Fybogel a good substitute for psyllium husk?
