diarreah ruining my clothes

[sunnysideup74]

Is there anything that would help stop it soaking through clothes on the way to the bathroom?

Hold a basin up to your mouth.... That should catch the verbal diarrhoea! HTH!

Interesting first post!
I would recommend embracing your inner naturist and let it all hang out.

And your ability to spell.

umm thanks

i had my gallbladder removed last week and was after some actual help.

wear a nappy?

thank you, kepek. i am not new just nc'd because i have rl friends who use the site and i am quite embarrassed that i can't make it up the stairs fast enough yet.

What advice were you given by the hospital?

i was warned this was a possible after-effect while the body adjusts to how it processes fat but didn't realise it would be like this. i see the consultant next week for post op, but having been up for another night in pain i've discovered it's common but can't find any practical advice in the meantime.

I agree with a previous poster that you may want to try googling for products. Then raise it with your doctor next week.

There is a tena lady website that gives advice on which products are needed. I read it recently for MIL who has dementia. Chemist could probably advise you too.

Tena lady or similar may be your friend here

If this is a serious post then you need to consider changing your diet and eating less fat, your body can apparently cope with it less when you don't have a gallbladder.

Stay near the loo? See a doctor? Soak the whole lot in Napisan ? (this works).

It's spelled diarrhoea. Useful to know.

Wow there are some fucking mean people on MN these days. If you think a post is not for real report it ignore. Most trolleys don't tend to post in general health anyway as it isn't as busy.

Oh and the spell check police should fuck off too.

Sorry OP no useful advice sounds like a fairly unpleasant experience for you. Hope you get it sorted.

Or ignore it I meant to say

Trolls, not trolley's! Bloody bastard I pad

What about doubling up on night time sanitary pads? Wear bikini bottoms too under clothes.

I have to rely on the predictive keyboard to be able to spell diahorrhea (and I bet I'm not alone in that). Mentally, I spell it "dire rear" which does seem like OPs situation.

Look on sites like AgeUK for incontinence products. And Napisan for the washing.

Why bikini bottoms, Giles?

The material is usually slightly thicker than normal underwear, and things wipe off/wash out a bit easier

And slightly tighter so hold towels in place well

Another vote for Tena lady. My dad had his gallbladder out and as I understand it, it means your body really struggles to process fat.

You need to really look at your diet and cut out fats - preferably under medical supervision.

I really feel for you. I have a neurological problem and sensation is reduced right up to my waist. I don't get much warning when I have to go.

My response (apart from moving to a house with a downstairs loo!) is that I go hourly, by the clock. I often end up moving my bowels when I had no idea I needed to go.

Accidents happen. Presoaking in a bio liquid then washing (I also use Lakeland's Oxi Plus stain remover) as hot as possible in a bio powder helps.

Tena pants, not pads
Wear dark clothing on your lower half
Use wet wipes before loo roll to help prevent sore skin
Sorry for thinking you were a troll.
