mum has become faecally incontinent. We have been to the docs several times and still no idea what is causing it. seems odd that it is just bowel and not bladder. Thoughts have been infection, muscles, impaction. We are as puzzled as we were a year ago. She has just about accepted wearing 'special lady pants' which help a bit.
The last couple of weeks she has been pooing in the bath. I think she thinks she is passing wind and just lies in it. She did realize one time and scooped the poo up on her bath sponge. Tonight as i was cleaning the bath it just hit me and i chucked up in the bath. NOT NICE AT ALL.... cleaning poo and puke up at the end of a tiring day was not fun.
sorry i know this isnt a nice subject. Be very grateful for any advice on how to help mum or how to deal with the mess
