Recognition
Do any of these feel familiar?
People describe urgent, sometimes uncontrollable urges to rush to the toilet, often with cramping beforehand and a sense of relief after. Many report anticipatory anxiety in situations far from a bathroom. Stress-related diarrhoea frequently coincides with exams, presentations, travel, or confrontational situations. Those with IBS often experience diarrhoea alternating with constipation, and notice a clear relationship between emotional state and bowel urgency.
