Stool urgency: While stool urgency to the degree that you describe is not normal, it is also not uncommon. Before embarking upon further testing though, I would recommend that you give a trial to increasing dietary fiber. I would even add a fiber supplement such as Metamucil daily. When you do, increase your fluid intake also. If this doesn't help after 4 to 6 weeks, see your doctor. Good luck.
