Hello steady health universe i was hoping you guys can help me. This is my problem. Every time i get out of my house get the feeling of pooping. It used to happened only at school and work but now it happens every time i go outside. When i get to a public toilet and poop my stools are in weird shapes. My bowels make a lot of noise too. A few years ago I had a colonoscopy and several studies more but the doctors didn't find anything wrong with me. One of the doctors said my problem could be caused by anxiety but I've done yoga, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises and more but nothing helps. One of the reasons I don't think is anxiety is because i go poop and then i'm completely fine for about an hour. Anyways I'm hoping I could find the answer to my problem here.

My sister has exacly the same problem. It is purely caused by nerves. Your best bet is to resort to hypnosis. Many people get anxious and it makes them poop. You are now getting anxious about going out and know that you will want to poop. It is a viscious circle.
Hope you can get the help you need.
