From the...As if I needed something else to be afraid of...dept.:

Folks have mentioned the incontinence recovery problem varies with
activity, strain, passing gas etc.

As a new diabetic...the lower carb (and thus lower sugar) veggies talked
about a lot include broccoli and cauliflower.
Since they cause gas...I'm concerned that if I continue my diet (which
is doing great controlling the diabetes), the gas and rectal pressure
will cause leakage more than with another diet type.

I know that it's different for every person but I did well by sticking
to a few foods.

We're encouraged to use stool softeners ANYWAY so that's OK...but I'm
concerned about prolonging the incontinence due to gas pressure.

Thanks for any thoughts.
