uncontrolled discharge from anus after bowel movement

I'm sorry if I seem ignorant but how do you do a cleanser carol

Hi people... Time to do an elimination diet. start with dairy, do not substitute, just cut out all dairy products for a month, then wheat, then whatever else you eat that can cause irritation.

get some flushable wipes in the mean time, once you get chaff but you got no chance of happieness.

Same for me. Do you remember the antibiotics that may have caused this

Any incontinence issue for urine and/or bowels could also be a spinal cord problem that may be affecting your nerves. Get an MRI. I had been suffering for 4 years with undiagnosed issues and probably longer. My spinal cord was being squeezed by my spine and cut into. There may be no or little symptoms or quite a few. Incontinence is a late stage prior to possibly being paralysed. Please get checked.

If you have any blood coming from anus, you should immediately go to see your doctor. Having just brown leakage verses any blood is a different ball game.

Hello All, I have been following this post for a little over a year now. I am very a similar situation as everyone else. 2 weeks of antibiotics and then the "leak" started. It would typically last about an hour after my morning bm. As long as I waited an hour after to shower most days would be okay. It emotionally was very tough to cope with. No hunting no hiking pretty much anything that involves leaving the house first thing in the morning I avoided. I seen ever doc and had ever test possible just to be told I am okay. CT colonoscopy anal/rectal doc ENT GASTRO even an oncologist at one point! I have tried just about every thing on the thread. Including an extremely healthy gluten free diet. I have also taken commercial probiotics daily. I lost about 50 lbs quit smoking and still had the issue. After about 10 months no smoking I started again. (Justified it due to the fact my body already seemed defective at this point) I started eating gluten again and loosened up my diet and didn't notice much a change. Knowing this started after an antibiotic and seeing comments on this thread I decided this must be a gut flora/microbiome issue. Commercial probiotics seemed to help me feel a little better but never really stopped the leak.

Sooooo, after reading about options (including things like FMT) I decided to try my best to "alter" my microbiome. Here's what I have done.

I started with a colonic/hydrotherapy (for this I prepped as well as I could. Juices and gallons of water leading up to it) this was a crazy experience but considering the problem I have it only made sense to try it.

Following this I followed a very healthy diet for a few days.

I also decided to try a different source of probiotics, went to Whole Foods (whole paycheck) and bought raw sauerkraut, kefir, miso. As soon as I made a smoothie with with the kefir I could feel a difference in my stomach. Something was going to work! At this point I reaserched and water to make my own kefir. I found a local Heath store and asked employees of knew anyone with live kefir grains. 1 week and 1 bottle of Whole Foods kefir later I got the kefir grains!! My wife and I started making kefir and that's when the magic happened.

2 days after colonic things were a little weird with my bms, but after that for a week everyday things seemed to get a little better. Like less to touch up if u know what I saying. As soon as I switched to our homage kefir the next day it was like a minimal clean up and that was it!!! The next day... nothing.it has now been 2 more days and still nothing! I know it is early only a couple days into it BUT I wanted to share. I have not had a day with nothing sense this began over a year ago! To have nothing 3 bms in a row is nothing short of a miracle. I will keep people posted if their is still interest in this subject. I will create an account if any one has any questions. I have ubiome results from before I started kefir and colonic and hope if this is successful to do a test again to see possibly if crossing them helps anyone

Thanks Guys Stay Strong

I too started to have bowel leakage after a bowel movement and wondered what the cause was. One of the replies mentioned that it was associated with having taken antibiotics and could be cured with pro-biotics. I had taken prednisone some time ago so I tried the recommended solution and so far it seems to be working. Apparently a side-effect of antibiotics might be bowel leakage after a bowel movement. Another side-effect is diarrhea.

Yup, me too. I know I will be destroyed with dairy and recently trying to avoid gluten. I take these fish oil pill that are kinda expensive and if I don't, I'm a wreck. What really sucks about my condition is that I have this really bad sense of smell and I have to rely on the countenance or subtle inuendos of my nearby public to take care of my situation. I keep the wet wipes with me in my car, work, home and my back pack. I experimented with drugs before and I thought something I snorted just tore a hole in the lining of my gut and it never healed. I'm a 50 year old professional, good looking guy but I'm having a problem even dating and I thought it might be because of my condition that I feel uncomfortable to talk about even with friends. I really just need to watch my diet like a hawk and eliminate my alcohol to a glass of red wine, keep exercising and no more beer.

I thought I was the only one that had this problems, but wow I'm not alone. I'm 56 and had always been a heavy coffee drinker. After I started drink tea in the morning. My problem went away. Well I decide to try coffee again in the morning and my problem came back. So now I know it is too much coffee in the morning.

I have the same condition. It began 14 years ago. I thought it was because of my baby inside my womb that's pushing it down. But until now I have it. I consulted with internists but they could not identify what's wrong. Until now I have to do the cleaning routine. It is burdensome if I am away from a comfort room and I need to clean up. But I am fine.

Hey guys Just an update, I see some new posts just want to keep everyone updated. If you feel your problem started antibiotics this can be cured! You need to find a way to balance your gut. I can still enjoy coffee as long as I stay on top of my gut. Let me know if you have any questions!!!

Thanks

I've had the issue for the last 7 years... and I have finally have solved it. There are a few things that I have been doing... so it could be one of a few things:

1. Do not sit on the toilet for longer than 2 minutes. You should be able to complete your bowel movement (according to my GI specialist) in this time. If not, drink more water and eat more fiberous foods.

2. It seems like I have an intolerance to soy. Avoid it at all costs... but when I take an anti-allergen pill (like Claritin) it helps a lot!

3. This is probably the most important. Take vitamin B12 daily. Read up on it

The other vitamins I have been taking is D and E... but not sure if that helps.

Problem has been gone for the last week. Completely gone. No leakage... nothing.

I hope you find the same success I have had.

PS. I takes about a week to kick in / work. Be diligent on the steps.

You're welcome!

Please follow up on this. Maybe check back in in a week. A lot of people have this and if we work together we can help each other. I am the kefir guy above. I am still 99.9% better. I do know after about 2 weeks of nothing I had about 3 days of touching up but it then went back to better. I agree with your comments about get in and get out. I was suprised to find this out but if you currently stand up to wipe you should learn to stay seated and wipe.

Either way. Thanks

FINALLY THE SOLUTION!!. Doctors WILL NOT be able to help you!!!!!! They don't know how to solve this. I will spare you all of the dozens of different solutions that I tried to get to this final solution.

Background: I took Cipro 2 years ago and couldn't even get halfway through the month long course of it without tremendous lower gut pain. After that, the stomach pains started along with terrible burning during BM. The Gastroenterologists only know about prescription drugs so they got me onto Omiprazole and told me I may have to take for the rest of my life. It stopped the burning but I still leaked after BM. I wanted a better solution.

Here is what works-
To get off Omeprazole or any of its derivatives you want to start taking Bio K Plus a FERMENTED Probiotic. I drank 1 bottle a day for 6 months while weaning myself off Nexium. Just probiotics DO NOT WORK! It has to be fermented probiotic like Bio K Plus available at Whole Foods and Vitamin Cottage.

To solve anal leakage after BM-
I do not know how long after or during taking Bio K Plus you should add this probiotic. You might be able to take it at the same time as the Bio K Plus. I'm just not sure. It took me 2 years of trying different products before I started taking Kroger 4X Probiotic. It consists of Bifidobacterium infantis, lactis, longum and bifidum probiotic blends. The next day, my anal leakage started to slow down and in over 2 weeks, I've not experienced any more leakage.....FINALLY THE SOLUTION!!
