How do you stop bowel incontinence naturally?

Summary of the article: How do you stop bowel incontinence naturally?

Include fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains in your diet each day. These foods are high in fiber. Drink plenty of fluids. If you have kidney, heart, or liver disease and have to limit fluids, talk with your doctor before you increase the amount of fluids you drink.

Vitamin D: A deficiency in vitamin D puts you at a high risk of experiencing pelvic muscle floor disorders like fecal incontinence. You can take a test to determine your vitamin D levels through a blood test in a hospital.

You can help manage and treat your fecal incontinence in the following ways: wearing absorbent pads, diet changes, over-the-counter medicines, bowel training, pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback therapy, sacral nerve stimulation, and prescription medicines.

Common causes of fecal incontinence include diarrhea, constipation, and muscle or nerve damage. The muscle or nerve damage may be associated with aging or giving birth. Whatever the cause, fecal incontinence can be difficult to discuss, but don’t shy away from talking to your doctor about this common problem.

Avoid foods that increase your risk of bowel incontinence like alcohol and caffeine, prunes and some fruit juices, spicy foods, dairy products, beans, smoked meats, and artificial sweeteners. Then begin to eat more bananas, applesauce, peanut butter, pasta, potatoes, and cheese. These will slow down and thicken stool.

Eating bland foods can help diarrhea go away faster and prevent stomach upset and irritation. You can follow the BRAT diet, which stands for “bananas, rice, applesauce, toast.” This diet can also help firm up stool.

The vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are reported to be linked to OAB syndrome, which is exacerbated by stress conditions. Urinary incontinence and hypovitaminosis D are prevalent problems of the geriatric population.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause urinary incontinence that can be cured with B12 supplementation. One preliminary study, but not others, have found that low blood levels of B12 were associated with urinary incontinence in older people.

The most common cause of bowel incontinence is damage to the muscles around the anus (anal sphincters). Vaginal childbirth can damage the anal sphincters or their nerves. That’s why women are affected by accidental bowel leakage about twice as often as men.

You should see a doctor if your fecal incontinence is frequent or severe. Although some people are able to manage mild or infrequent fecal incontinence on their own, you should see a doctor if your fecal incontinence is affecting your quality of life or causing emotional or social distress.

It can be due to various reasons such as incomplete wiping technique, excessive mucus discharge, diet, difficulty reaching, or cleaning the anus properly. It is recommended to try different wiping techniques, use wet wipes, and ensure proper hygiene to ensure a clean bottom.
