    Lita, when the Force Awakens came out, I was dealing with poop issues similar to yours. Like you, I was wearing adult diapers myself. I was unwilling to give up popcorn so I did have a small one. I did however load up on immodium before, probably 2 to 3 tablets before and another two after the movie. It completely blocked me up for a couple of days but was so worth to have that popcorn. I can't eat anything with peanuts anymore either. I think chemo ruins our GI permanently even with probiotics. I can eat most things but not chocolate or peanuts. I really miss those myself. Enjoy the movie Saturday even if you bring apples!

    Mara, normally I'd just throw caution to the wind and EAT the damn popcorn, but I'm going out of town on Sunday, and I don't want any "episodes" while I'm traveling on the road. Of course, I might "cheat" on Saturday and eat two or three pieces of my husband's popcorn, but that's about it. Eating even a small container might be pushing it, and if I have any issues on Sunday, I'll have no one to blame but myself.

    Can't blame you there if you have other plans Sunday involving car travel. Enjoy the show at any rate. Hear it's a good movie.

    Lita: have you tried Lomitil! It has really helped me these last 3 years in Herceptin! It is prescription. I take two before leaving he house and another 2 if I eat in public. Rarely...it does too good if a job and I need Per Diem.

    Lita so sorry for your recent bout. I recently went from pooping in my pants to trying to push out rocks. Can’t we just get a happy medium!

    Hope it’s under control now

    Heading off to Half Moon Bay for a few days with a friend.

    Prayers for safe travel and no digestive "incidents."

    Thanks to my numerous tumors and spreading numbness, I no longer have full control of my bladder OR my anal sphincter, and have already had accidents this past week, as I chronicled earlier. I have to wear Depends ALL THE TIME now. I'm bringing a full package with me, so I should hopefully be okay.

    It really sucks, but THIS IS MY LIFE NOW. ((But at least I can still walk with my walker and talk in semi-coherent sentences...that could change any day, but let's be grateful for the faculties we still possess.))

    The Last Jedi was pretty good, and I think I only dozed off once, for a minute or two, so I didn't lose the forward momentum of the plot. Won't say anymore, but I liked the character development. Plenty of latitude for more sequels in the future.

    I may only check in once or twice while I'm away, so blessings to everyone.

    Lita: I too read every day but don't post often. Always sending positive thoughts. I was raised on the SF Peninsula and Half Moon Bay is one of my favorite places. Hope you have a great time. Somehow watching the Pacific Ocean always calms me.

    Taken outside Nick's Restaurant in Pacifica, just north of Half Moon Bay. NICK's is an institution...been there since the 20s. Great crab sandwhiches and seafood. I had fish and chips.
