Managing diarrhoea

I have prescription meds (and nappies). Diarrhoea is a side effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Meds. help but not completely.

I live in a small flat and would say I manage to get to the toilet 60-75% of times - there is very little warning of an episode. It also involves crippling, sudden pain so sometimes l can't actually move to the toilet.

Eating small cups of cooled white rice 3 times a day. Any experiments with other food have not gone well.

I want to be able to leave the house eventually and not have diarrhoea run my life. Please please does anyone have any tips?

Thanks.

How long can I continue taking the anti-diarrhoea medicines for?
