Help! very strange bowel behavior within 50 mins

Okay, well, i'm having very strange bowels.  This all started about an hour ago.  I went to the bathroom, having to do number 2...and it was completely normal, and all was good.  Well about 20 mins after that, i was at my computer and i heard my intestines start gurgling (which i usually know that some form of uncomfortable stools is coming)But i didnt start to worry, because sometimes i eat stuff that irratates my colon (i.e. red pepper flakes on pizza). So as i was walking to the bathroom, i felt that uncomfortable, inevidable feeling of actual diarrhea. So i went, and it was a combination of both normal and runny bowels. After this i still wasnt worried, and just blew it off, but i realized that about every 5-10 mins, i had to go, and everytime i went, my stools became less and less solid, until just a little bit ago, they are about completely liquid now. And now i have no idea what could be causing this, because ive ruled out colon irritation because i had no abdominal cramping.

Which brings me to my question...Can anyone help me tell what could be causeing this?  I feel fine, no nausea or vommiting but im worried. =\

I have these sx daily.  My gastro attibutes it to IBS.  I am never constipated, only the opposite.  My daily "thing" is six to eight times a day with the am being the most frequent.  I understand and sympathize with you, and hope it isn't happening to you on a daily basis.  It can really mess up your social life. :(

If you only had this an hour, you can relax. Drink alot of water so you don't become dehydrated. See a doctor if you notice any blood, have very strong pain or are still having diarreah on monday.

Good luck
