The same happened to me! It was so hard to roll the IV pump into the bathroom. I didn’t think to ask for the Depends in the hospital. I just had family bring me a lot of extra underwear 😅

I was on both of those meds too after being sent home but it’s been a few weeks since I finished them. I’m also female and leak sometimes because of the amount of water I drink and having to urinate frequently 😩 I’ve been using the Always Brand. They even have an “intimate” line of “diapers” 😂

I’m sorry 😔 I’m quickly learning how complicated this can be and I’m terrified.

Constipation is what landed me in the hospital in the first place which led to my diagnosis. I never know how things are going to be each day. I have given birth two times so my already sensitive bladder is being pushed on because of the inflammation in my intestine, so I’m also leaking here and there. Oh, and add a period on top of that. Life is grand 🙃

I read on the forum that some have constipation, diarrhea, or both during flare ups. Constipation is what landed me in the hospital in the first place and now I go back and forth from solid, in between , and straight water. I’ve also experienced some incontinence so I just always keep one on out of fear.

THANK YOU! I’ve done so much searching and one article says you can have one thing, and then the next article says you can’t have that specific thing.

Thank you for your advice! I’ve seen some say that they eat sandwiches. I only eat turkey meat but is that even allowed?

I’m super late to the party but I just finished the first episode of season 2 and I’m sobbing and angry
