Irregular Bowel Movements--need help

by tuscon, Dec 29, 2007 02:10PM
Lately, I seem to have irregular bowel movements mainly caused psychologically.  Whenever I think about having a bowel movement in a matter of time, regularly half an hour, I need to go to expel waste.  It makes it quite hard to deal with during school.

I am also a runner.  Anytime I go for a run over 2 miles I get diarrhea and have horrible stomach cramps.  I've had to drop off the cross country team because of this problem.  Imodium works but I can't use it everyday when I need to get miles in for running.

Same here. I have the habit of using the restroom every time after eating a meal. Sometimes if i eat too early i need to use the restroom. Same goes for school, i eat breakfast. I hold it in though until i start to feel it very strong, that way once i go to the restroom it just all comes out so fast, lol. That way i could get out. Im very shy about using restroom with other people in it.
