Hi all. I have struggled for 20 odd years with IBS and diverticulitis. Especially the last 12 months have been really bad with accidents, I was afraid to leave the house with the diarhea. Since July 13th I have been in hospital, had 3 ops on my back and am now in a spinal unit. This being so I have lost all control of my bowels and bladder, but the good thing is I have only had a couple of accidents in all this time. The reason for this is because I am on a bowel regime. During the day I take 2 dulcolux, 2 senna tablets and the following morning i have 2 gglycerine suppositories and it works brill as it empties you for the day. Just wanted to share this info and hopefully it will help somebody.
