What Causes Fecal Incontinence And Abdominal Bloating?

Hi. I m a 60 yr old female. I am disabled with adhesive arachnoiditis (for the past 20 yrs) and RA. I have recently suffered from sudden onset fecal incontinence and very bad intestinal gas (more than normal or me). My stools are kind of the consistency of cake frosting and very sticky, ranging in color from light brown to dark brown. I have been taking probiotics or several years, and up until about a month ago I haven t had any problems. This was quite literally an over-night change! Any thoughts??

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern
Excessive gas itself can cause forced incontinence .
Excessive gas can be due to excessive food
intake/Slow intestinal movements/dwficient digestive enzymes/bowel infections,infestations /food allergies.
You need to get throughly investigated under expert guidance of a gastroenterologist followed by specific treatment.
Thanks.
