I have not had to wear diapers in years but have had issues with pharts that are a tad liquid. Not much mind you.. just enough to dampen and stain the underwear... my solution LONG panty liners.. not any old ones... LONG ones and place them more to the back of my underwear. Krogers has their own brand. I use them every day now.. now more soaking undies in the bathroom sink!

when i had the flu i had LBL x 2 - light bladder leakage and light bowel leakage, everytime i coughed.

Two liners, one at the front and one towards the back (overlap in the middle) worked a treat -

Ant,

Those glands primarily protect the lining of the duodenum upstream of the Sphincter of Oddi. I really don't know how much bicarbonate they produce, relative to the total combined output. I've always been under the impression that the pancreas provides the lion's share of bicarbonate, but I could certainly be wrong.

Something certainly causes the problem, because D from casein intolerance is downright irritating (but for all I know, it could be the opposite problem — the fecal pH could be too alkaline when influenced by a casein reaction).

Marcia,

I believe that Dee coined that term, years ago, and yes, it definitely refers to world class anal irritation, typically accompanied by an appropriate display of brilliant color that rivals Rudolph's nose. Been there, done that.

Granny,
I have about 6 packets of the Kroger long liners in my closet right now. And I echo Gabes - one in the front and another behind.
This accident was more than 2 pads could handle.

Hi Tex,

Thanks for all of the information on the Brunner's gland hyperplasia. Your explanation was very clear.

Theoretically, the ranitidine has a relatively low risk of triggering MC symptoms for most people

I had previously been a bit afraid of taking the Ranitidine all the time, as I was so afraid it would make the D much worse. [quote][/quote]

Hi Tex,

Thanks for all of the information on the Brunner's gland hyperplasia. Your explanation was very clear. I especially appreciated the following comment that you made.

Tex wrote: "Theoretically, the ranitidine has a relatively low risk of triggering MC symptoms for most people"

Thank you so much for that information. I feel a lot more comfortable taking it every day now. I had previously been afraid that it would make the MC worse. Now I will give it a true test and stay on it. I think it does help to eliminate some of my indigestion and abdominal pain. That's a start, and I'll just take it a day at a time on the MC.

Hi Leah,

I have not tried Immodium in about 8 years. Time to try it again. It is on my list for the next shopping trip. I figure the next few weeks will be so busy, that I really don't want to deal with the GI doctor and try something else that requires a Rx. Definitely time for a good old fashioned OTC remedy. It's worth a try.

I've never seen my butt after that awful burning feeling but I'll bet it is! Believe it or not, I get that when I'm taking three Entocorts; I sure don't do three for very long. I wonder why Entocort would do that. Does anyone know?

Hugs to you all. I've had the terrible butt hurt, accidents and all. So sorry to hear you're not feeling well.

I went searching and found this information...I was wondering about different types of antihistamines...

First-Generation H1 Histamine Receptor Blockers

H1 histamine receptors are found in smooth muscle cells throughout the body, and they lead to a traditional allergic reaction when histamine is bound to them. The first generation of histamine blockers, antihistamines, was developed to counteract the allergic symptoms. The most common example of a first-generation histamine blocker is diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It and other first-generation antihistamines have a documented side effect of extreme sedation.

Second-Generation H1 Histamine Receptor Blockers

Because of the sedative effect of first-generation histamine blockers, second-generation versions of H1 histamine receptor blockers were developed and marketed in the 1990s. As of 2010, these second-generation histamine receptor blockers are still commonly used in over-the-counter and prescription products and include loratadine (Claritin) and fexofenadine (Allegra). Because of the changed chemical structure of second-generation histamine blockers, less sedation is typically present.

H2 Histamine Receptor Blockers

H2 histamine receptors bind with histamine just as H1 receptors do, but H2 receptors are found in the stomach lining. Stimulating these receptors causes increased digestion and stomach acid secretion. H2 receptor blockers, such as famotidine (Pepcid) and ranitidine (Zantac), are also available over the counter and as prescriptions. These types of histamine blockers are used to counteract excess stomach acid in peptic ulcer disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
