Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 We had a similar problem with our Becca who has Celiac Disease. Before she was diagnosed, her bowels were completely out of control so we made a point to allow her to swim right after she had a bowel movement knowing she was " done for now " and there would be no accidents in the pool.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Someone just recently posted a link where you could order swim diapers of all sizes on another list. I didn't save the link and I looked through the archives but couldn't find it so I posted for someone to please resend it. As soon as it comes through I'll post it here. Tell not to fret he will soon be water log from swimming so much. :-) Hope LDSAngel77@... wrote: >Ok...here's my dilemma... > >We just got a new above ground pool!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Dear Angel, I would ask a physical therapy service, or a nursing home, hospital rehabilitation unit, pool store, or a medical supply company. Perhaps someone there has had experience with doing water therapy in patients with incontinence. Good Luck! Blessings, Barb Martz Suggestions~~ Ok...here's my dilemma... We just got a new above ground pool! This has turned into a GREAT joy for everyone EXCEPT . Because he also has a bowel disease, and can't control his bowels fully, wears those Goodnight's underpants (ie, big pull-ups!) These things turn to a gelly mess in the pool, and shed everywhere! I know for infants, they make those wonderful " Little Swimmers " diapers/pull-ups that don't swell in the water... Anyone have any ideas or suggestions, or know of any products that can help out??
