Has anyone had trouble with leakage while doing alot of walking? It’s been happening to me lately. Would taking fiber help with that?

The problem I have is leakage when I cough. I have had this happen a few times.
Fiber is inexpensive, easy to try, and close to completely harmless if used according to the directions. Why not give it a try and see if it works for *you*?
Most important is to improve stool consistency. If fiber can do that for you - why not. When walking around, a short relaxing of the sphincter or an increased load of the pelvic floor (e.g. when coughing or sneezing) can lead to leakage if the output is too liquid, even more with bloating. But I think that can also be a problem for people with a colon if they have severe diarrhea.
