Rather than accept your plight; why not attempt to resist the urge to empty your pouch when the sensation arises.
Once you’ve learnt to differentiate the varying sensations and either fool the mind of stretching the pouch, maybe after a few weeks, your daily BMs may reduce.
Do your BMs decrease when you eat or drink less ?
Thanks for the advice but I accept my lifestyle, my motto is "if it is not broke do not fix it". When I had my colon I had severe constipation and I do not want to risk that happening again. I read some stuff about it being harmful to hold poop in, I have bad luck so I do not want to risk it.
And not really, if I drink less I tend to get dehydrated and feel awful and wind up straining. Drinking water the way I do helps everything with my body without straining. I already eat less most of the time, I eat a low carb diet most of the time- If I eat more its closer to 20.
I tried immodium as well, that worked great in my takedown days but ironically it clogs me up now. I am just naturally in that 9% that goes over 13.
