Brief Summary
The goal of the study is to find out which of three different options (a suppository, a mini enema, or a transanal irrigation device) takes the least amount of time for completing bowel program amongst those who have spinal cord injuries with a neurogenic bowel. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does one of these tools meaningfully reduce the amount of time people with spinal cord injury need to complete their bowel programs? * Does one of these tools meaningfully reduce the number of times someone might experience incontinence or constipation? * Are participants satisfied in using these devices, and would they prefer to use the same tool at home? Researchers will compare the answers to these questions between the three different tools to improve quality of life for patients while improving the efficiency of the care provided. Participants in this study will: * Be enrolled in one of these options depending on when they are admitted to Casa Colina Hospital * Will receive the same tool for their bowel program for the majority or entirety of their stay * Will have a tracking sheet placed in their rooms for nursing to record when bowel program started and when it was completed * Will receive questionnaires when they enroll and when they finish the study on their experience with the tool and how likely they would be to use it at home
