I had my terminal ileum removed back in 1983 due to an endometrioma at the terminal ileum from a vaginal hysterectomy almost exactly 1 year previously. Since that time I have not had a solid bowel movement and now that I am in my late 60 s, I am reduced to depends as my bowel movements are unexpected and usually almost completely liquid. I have had diarrhea since 1983. The lack of a terminal ileum seems to affects how food is processed and medication is absorbed. Any suggestions on how to handle this worsening condition. I have no control over my bowel movements and since I also have a spastic bladder, I have bowel movements every time I urinate, usually at least once an hour. Nights are a nightmare.
