Hang in there and don't give up. I have only been on the boards a couple of weeks but it has done me a world of good. I am now taking the soluble fiber twice daily and I have seen some improvement. I am still having some problems but it has all but alleviates the urgency and the accidents. I was thinking of asking about surgery not too long ago as I was just so tired of worrying about my bowels. The people on this board are all so knowledgeable and all of us have the same problems you have been through.
