Okay, so for almost a year now I have had
urges to quickly get to the bathroom.
Now, I don't make it in time. I have had
stool samples that came back fine.
Tomorrow I have a colonoscopy, which to be
honest I hope that they find some
something. I think if they don't find
anything I will be devistated. This is
already taking a toll on my life. I stay
home. I don't like to go out anywhere,
because when it hits, there is NO time to
get to the bathroom. I have had numerous
accidents in public and at work. I have
them at home as well.
Is there any who has or has had this
problem? I feel alone.

Yeah I shore do. I’m 35 and have been
having similar problems for 3 years now.
My main problem is that I always feel like
I have to go and when I do nothing happens
at the time, so I ignore the feeling. The
problem with that is at least 3 times a
week and sometimes more I have accidents
Maybe IBS? I dunno, just a thought. But i
would definately continue going to the dr,
they cant tell u nothing is wrong when
evidently something is. So just keep on
going , dont let them tell u nothings
wrong and leave it at that, switch drs if
u have to, hopefully u get it all figured
out and can lead a normal life again.

I have also experienced this problem for
many years. In my case, part of the
problem is nerve damage in my spine, which
has caused a loss of ability to "hold it"
as I don't have full control of my
sphincter. I also have redundant bowel and
have been diagnosed with IBS. My
gastroenterologist prescribed a diet of
plenty of fresh fruit, no raw vegetables,
whole grains including brown rice, 8
glasses of water daily, lightly steamed or
grilled vegies. In addition, he advised me
to eat probiotic yoghurt and take a
lactobacillus acidophilus tablet every day
along with psyllium or ground flax seeds.
I have been following this non-drug
regimen (and enjoying it) for almost a
year and have experienced amazing
improvement, though nothing will help the
nerve damage. I have a lot less bloating
and pain, with a significant reduction in
mucous and blood in my stools. i hope this
helps.
