I am not surprised by what you read. I have spinal lesions and the neurogenic bladder. In a flare, my bowel will act up.
I have the opposite problem from incontinence (or other IBS-type loose stool symptoms) when I am in a spinal cord flare. Do you too, T?

(I also have Ulcerative Colitis, but it doesn't help things along during a flare, unfortunately).
