Brief Answer:
Gastronenterologist!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

The best doctor to see for fecal incontinence is a gastroenterologist. For the time leading up to your appointment, please eat enough fiber containing food, put on protective under wears and try to visit the toilet regularly to avoid any embarrassments in public. Also, always locate and sit next to the restrooms for easy access when out of home.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
