when I have to move my bowels it sometimes comes with an urgency that has to be satisfied right away. I mean right away. Is this a sign of I. B. S. or is this the diet im on. i eat a lot of fruits and veggies.Thanks for any info.

Sounds to me like a sign of IBS. I have had IBS for just about all of my life. (Since I was 4) and this has always been a big problem for me. I could just be sitting at the computer typing and all the sudden my stomach will start to feel quesy and i'll have to get up and go to the bathroom right then.
Is this the only problem you have? You could possible just have a bug, but if it is something you have all the time... or maybe when youre stressed its must likely IBS.

Hi, there. Is this a new condition? If so, go to the doc to make sure nothing more serious is wrong. If this is typical for you, then you probably have IBS-D. You can still go to your doc for medical relief if it becomes an issue socially or professionally. Otherwise, you'll also get some good advice here on this board.
