Reply to "Not pouchitis, nightly severe incontinence"

I have incontinence at night pretty regularly. I have to wear Depends in order to sleep. I've been doing this for years so it's become normal for me. However, I notice that I am not incontinent when I do the following:

- Regularly taking Metamucil - Metamucil has done wonders for me in helping give my stool more form. 

- Take imodium before bed - I can usually get through the entire night on only one imodium depending on what I ate that day.

- This one is difficult for me - Don't eat anything after dinner and don't eat dinner later than 7 pm. 

If I am doing the above things, I don't normally have an accident during the night. 

Sometimes if I feel a little backed up I'll do an enema before I go to bed and make sure I feel more cleared out before lying down. Hopefully this helps some.
