A member asked:
How can you stop the feeling of going to take a poop in public can this be from anxiety or ibs? i'm always thinking about this before i go out

This may be a form: of social anxiety. Please see your doc and if GI issues are ruled out a clinical psychologist can be helpful. When we feel out of control we can become anxious and obsessive. Peace and good health.
