Hi~
Been there, done that--well, still do at times, so you're not alone. My Internist diagnosed IBS and suggested fiber capsules. I can go from constipated one day to diarrhea the next, but fiber capsules seem to help regulate me somewhat. It at least stopped most of the accidents.

I always wear a panty liner, and carry one in my purse too. I know what you're saying about being the furthest from the bathroom. It's something most people don't even think about. I think we always know where EVERY bathroom is before we go out of the house.

I don't think my PN has directly affected my BM's, but chronic pain and stress seem to. My bowels have always been sort of this way, but since I live with chronic pain and lead a stressful life, my bowels are affected more. Just one more thing to deal with..... hang in there!
Hugs,
Jan
