What Causes Constant Watery Stools And Fecal Incontinence?
I am trying to figure out what can be causing my problem. I am diabetic and do not know if it is a side effect from the disease, or not related to it at all. I have not had a solid bowel moovement in I do not know how long. I would not call it diarehea ither as it is way to watery. It is not hard for me to go, as I almost nightly go uncontrollably in my sleep. My stomach and surrounding area love to make noises, but ussually only when I am lying down.
