Urge to pass stool while traveling
I am a 25-year-old male. My main issue is that I get a strong urge to pass stool whenever I travel. This makes it very difficult for me to leave home, and I get anxious about losing control during travel. I do not have this issue as much when I stay at home.
At home, my bowel movements are mostly normal — I usually go once or twice, either in the morning or later in the day. However, I do get a bit of stomach pain and gas early in the morning, which usually improves after I pass the stool.
Please suggest what might be causing this problem and what treatment, tests, or dietary changes I should consider. It is affecting my routine and quality of life.
