Hi Pamlyn. You are not alone, what you just described happens to me Every. Single. Day. A lot of us on here have it, it is a common IBS symptom. I am diarrhea predominant, but it happens whether I am having D or C, doesn't matter. I believe they call it "incomplete evacation". Some people just get the sensation of it, but nothing is really there, and others feel it even if there is a tiny bit of stool there. I get both kinds. And, I think once you have experienced it, your mind begins to dwell on it and you feel the sensation more than you would otherwise. It is a horrible cycle. Sometimes increasing my fiber helps, gets everything all out in a couple tries I guess. But there are times when nothing helps and I feel it all day long, and it is such a distraction, to say the least.
