A Need To Pop When Running

[minnie76]

I have been running for years and in the last year i have this overwhelming need when running to have to poo!! this can be for a 3 miles or a 13 miles, there is no explanation. i have tried Imodium which does not work! When i need to go i have to go, there is no waiting to find a private place to go! i know it is going to be difficult to participate in an organised runs and it is spoiling my love of running.
The GP has not been helpful at all and not offer any advice or a referral to a specialist ( i guess they are not runners). My question is who can i privately refer myself to or is there any advice people can offer! thanks

Well you may be a "medical ignoramus", Canary, but your thoughts are no less appreciated. Someone, somewhere, whether a medical expert or not, will come up with the answer to the OP's problem.

11.21 What a strange reply

I was making a general observation, not intended for any one person.

With all due respect, you are showing yourself up by continuing this ridiculous facade. Your mask is slipping...

Not a recommendation but simply curious - have you ever been prescribed a psyllium regimen? If so, how did that turn out?
