Sally Jane, I hope you are under a doctor's care. You should not suffer total fecal incontinance alone. Don't be ashamed. March right in there and demand help. You could be losing too many fluids like this.Yes, it happens, but it shoud be transitory. You may have found your Big Trigger Food.I have been on the Caltrate for two weeks, and so far, so good. I have had NO IBS attacks at all. It seems too good to be true, but I'm hoping!!
