What Causes An Uncontrollable Urge To Defecate?
Yesterday while traveling by car I had uncontrollable urge BM after two days of not going. Stopped and full evacuation very soft. I felt entirely empty. Today had minor BM somewhat soft. However this afternoon pure water and noted on TP and side of bowl what appeared to be coffee grounds . Otherwise feel ok now, however, going to see my doc on Monday.

Hi,
I am sorry for the health problems you are having (urge to defecate).
This could be due to food poisoning or acute gastroenteritis (bowel infection).
I advise to:
- drink plenty of water
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- take tasectan or pepto bismol to regulate defecation
- have light meals (yogurt, banana, rice, apple sauce, toast)
until you see your doctor on Monday.
Wish fast recovery.
