How Can Bowel Incontinence Be Treated?

I hike 3-4 hours every other day. I am experiencing bowel leakage and a strong urge to use the bathroom (defecate) after about 1-2 hours of hiking. For example, this morning, I had a cup of coffe, toast with peanut butter and banana before my hike. I had dinner last night between 4-5 pm and a cup of yogurt about 7pm last night. I have been to my gastrinologist and they tried steroids but didn t help. Any suggestions on what I should do before a hike?

You will need to consult a homeopath. the anal sphincter is weak. Avoid coffee for now. avoid refined sugars and refined foods. You will need to do exercises that strengthen the anal sphincter.
