Reply to "Is there leakage with regular watery stool?"

Hi, @MoeK18. It’s hard to be sure, especially without knowing more about your condition. If your condition makes your anal sphincter function poorly then you could still have the same problem. If your condition makes your rectum overactive then J-pouch surgery could help, since the rectum (the very last part of the large intestine) is removed. A healthy J-pouch can hold watery stool just fine, though everyone seems to be happier with stool that’s a bit thicker than that.
