I have irritable bowel syndrome (YUCH!) and need to run to bathroom frequently and immediately. I will probably be starting dialysis in a center in the near future and wonder if anyone has had the same problem and is on dialysis. I don't know how I can sit in the recliner chair for 4 hours while needing to use the restroom. Once in the restroom I can be there for upwards of 30 or 40 minutes--no quick in and out.
Sorry to hear you are having a bowl problem. My son has been on dialysis for over 2 years now & never had that problems . And the people that I talk with at the dialysis center have never had a problem . One man has stomach problems with pain & vomiting. My son had to have a stent put in because for bleeding after they remove the needles. Now they put clamps on his arm for half an hour before he can leave. Had a lot of problems with the Binders. He tried several different ones. Now he only takes 4 Binders a day. Hope your Doctor can solve your problem.

Have you thought of home therapies? You can do dialysis at home and go to the bathroom when you want to.
