First I start out by having gas, after I pass gas several times I have spasms of cramping, and I know that when I do this I am going to have to go to the bathroom. If I wait for the cramping to subside, it will for a few minutes, but the next spasm of cramps feel worse and so on. Usually when I will go to the restroom it will come out soft almost formed, and then sometimes like a few minutes later it will be diarrhea or partially digested food. I don t pass the diarrhea all the time when I do this... Its most of the time soft. I have quit pop because I thought it was the caffeine or carbonation, but its not that. I have noticed that I do this when I eat butter... When I eat butter its usually not a lot.
