Hi sweetdew!  Nice to hear from you, but sorry about your accidents.  I have had times where I have had to really dash to make it in time, so I know how stressed out you must be.  ;o(     I usually take the Renew Life Products.  I usually take at least 30 billion a day.

They make this one for emergency situations like yours

I think I used Custom Probiotics after my first 2 rounds of Flagyl back in '08.  I did buy another bottle several months ago, need to find it...it's hiding in my fridge somewhere and see if I can take 1 every other day and see if it helps.  Calcium and iron don't help me, already take calcium 6x/day.

A friend of mine who has also had the DS has had significant bowel issues including a few very embarrassing bowel moments.  She had loose and runny bowels for about a year after her DS.  On the advice of one of her doctors, she began adding a lot of fiber to her diet.  She's done this in the form of white Navy Beans.  It's a staple item in her diet, and it has helped a lot to create more solid bowel movements.  She also had trouble with oil slicks where oil would collect inside of her and then just pour out.  I haven't heard her talk about that issue in awhile; I'm hoping that the fiber helped with that as well.

I take one Acidophilus with Psyllium from The Vitamin Shoppe each AM.  If I am going to be around people later in the afternoon or early in the evening, then I take another one before leaving.
