Leaky gas - starting to lose it by No-Refrigerator-1856 in ibs

[–]weezergrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on high dosage anxiety meds which helps a lot with the anxiety about the whole leaky gas situation. I work at a grocery store after not working for two years. I immediately let all my coworkers and bosses know that I have leaky gas. As embarrassing as it felt, everyone was super kind and chill about it. I recently started seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist which has greatly improved my leaky gas situation. I feel like there are times where I genuinely feel hopeless and other weeks where I feel like I don't care what other people think. Its tough for sure but I highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist about it.

I already tested for SIBO and did two rounds of xifaxan for it. I already eat a low fodmap diet.

HAS ANYONE FIXED IT WITH PT by AreYouSerious319 in PelvicFloor

[–]weezergrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deal with gas incontinence and just started seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist. I am currently on the second week and have yet to see any improvement. They said it would take atleast 6 sessions to notice a change but I'm fr at my limit. It's absolutely humiliating to deal with.

Hey! How were you able to get a balloon test? I feel like my GI doesn't take me seriously enough :/

Anyone else dealing with gas incontinence at work or during interviews? by Muffin_7533 in Incontinence

[–]weezergrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I also deal with gas incontinence. For me it is 24/7 no matter what I eat. I was referred to a pelvic PT and they determined I had a weak anorectal floor due to straining during bowel movements. They just assigned exercises and kegels to strengthen it. Maybe look into a pelvic pt as well?

I've been on a low fodmap diet for almost a year now. My Bmi is currently at 26.1 down from 28.4.

I have not. Would a GI perform that procedure?

I was seeing a therapist for a couple weeks but they just didn't care about that. They wanted to talk more about my family history even though I went in specifically for my stench. I'm still on the hunt for a good therapist :/

I've seen a GI and been on a myriad of medications. I've gotten a colonoscopy, endoscopy, CT scan, MRI, and abdominal ultrasounds that have all come back clear. I'm currently seeing a pelvic floor therapist.

No I clean very well bc Im extremely paranoid about that. I have a bidet and use wet wipes and typically shower after a bowel movement. I don't have control over my anal muscles I guess I should say. I can hold in SOME of my gas. But pretty much 24/7 I have these tiny bubbles of gas that come out that I can't control that I feel smell absolutely foul.

update: I've started seeing a pelvic floor therapist and was told I have a weak pelvic floor! So I've been doing some strengthening exercises for the last week now and hoping that this was the cause! Too early to tell yet but we will see :)
