Not related: to carbs If you are hooked on caffeine it might aggravate this . Do you have anal intercourse, it could be the cause? One other thing comes to mind is that are you under a lot of stress? This could aggravate the problem. last but not least do you have irritable bowel? It also might be related. See your doc if persist.
