Symptom #5: Urgent Need to Use the Bathroom
Regardless of whether or not you are struggling with diarrhea, many people with IBS experience the urgent and spontaneous need to go to the bathroom. This is one of the reasons that IBS can be such an inconvenient problem: people with regular jobs or school schedules often find that their studies or their work are interrupted by the need to quickly go to the bathroom.
Again, some over-the-counter medicines can help people manage this difficult symptom. However, the safest method is to try and ensure that you’re relatively close to a bathroom at all times.
