    Perhaps you would like to tell us some more about your problem? When does the leak occur? Do you have any other anal conditions? Have you any anal surgery? Are you sure it is from the anus and not from around the anus... Could it be an anal fistula?

      So you've had an anal surgery that caused your incontinence problems? That is very unfortunate. Are you a female? Unfortunately, sphinceroplasty doesn't always work and sometimes the good short-term results can be misleading in the long-term. There is some experimentation ongoing in this field, it will become more of a problem with the global population aging. Have you tried pelvic floor exercises (biofeedback)? Maybe for small leak this could help, provided that you find the right specialist to work with you.

    Imodium or Codaine. But you can get yourself constipated and have more problems. What you eat is very related to what will come out. If you have noticed that some foods make your bowel movements less problematic, then you should stick to them. It's a good idea to start a diary with what you eat and how it affects your wellbeing. Greasy foods, caffe, milk, even some fruits and veggies can give you gases.
