bowel incontinence- Re: Digest Number 1831

[Guest guest]

BlankHi Beth, when Dan got to that phase the only thing I could do was buy the

large mattress pads, the throw-away kind. Eventually I got the kind the

hospitals use, they were much better because they're heavy cotton with a

rubber backing.They came in handy with easier turning but I Did a lot of

laundry . this is the best I can do for suggestions. I hope someone out there

can give you some other advice. Love ya,

Good Morning,

My husband has just started experiencing bowel incontinence and I'm not sure how

to handle this. It has happened in the past, but only about once a year.

Suddenly it's happening once a week. He's only having a problem during the

night, but it will last for at least an hour. By the time I get him cleaned up

and back to bed we've lost at least two hours of sleep. Any suggestions on how

to handle this " new " situation?

Thanks for all your help.

Beth
