should i just buy diapers?

When I have the urge to have a bowel movement, I know that I have about 5 minutes to get to a bathroom. I get hot and sweaty and within those few minutes cannot control my bowels. I dont have diareaha and I dont have any pain, its just that I cant control holding stool in. This has become a major problem. I exercise and eat a healthy diet. I cannot drink any coffee anymore and am starting to live my life with a cell phone in my hand ( when i am walking away from home and need someone to come pick me up) and extra underwear in my poketbook! Does anyone have any ideas? This has been going on for about 2 years.

Never got a response from you, hope all is okay.  I was wondering how you have been feeling and if you have gone to a doctor and maybe mentioned the questron lite that i spoke about, it has really helped me out alot.  Let me know how things are going with you if you can.

thanks

Have you seen a doctor, and if so, what have they said.  I have the same problem most of the time, with the stool that is not loose and not firm enough and cannot seem to hold it for long and seem to have to go more than a couple times a day especially if i am nervous about something, and i am always nervous.  This whole ibs problem has taken over my life and has made me an even more nervous human being.  I take questron lite (generic powder twice a day and that seems to help me stay pretty stable, but once again, i cannot seem to get myself straightened out with my being nervous everywhere i go.  Let me know if you have other stomach problems and what you tend to eat daily.
