Does anyone else have to have a BM every time they go shopping? Maybe this sounds really weird, but it happens to my grandfater too. Whenever I'm in a store...Walmart, clothing store, cd stores, etc...I have to go to the bathroom! I've even had days when I just couldn't go and I walked into a store and started "shopping" just to make myself go! Is this psychological?

I've had that happen too. Of course usually my fiance and I go out to eat, then hit walmart on the way back. My family has horses and when horses get constipated it can be deadly. Well it seems like whenever we put them in the trailer to go somewhere, as soon as their in there, they go. So when our best show horse was constipated, I suggested that we put him in the trailer. And sure enough, it worked! Kind of off subject, but it works the same with all animals, not just us!

Yep -- my hubby. AND HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE IBS!!! It's amazing. He can't poop all day, and can't figure out why. Then, the MINUTE we go to Safeway, bingo he has to go. I'm flabberghasted. It's got to be a mental thing with him. Safeway and poop. Poop and Safeway.

With me (I'm the one with IBS), it's not poop, but fart. I always have to fart whenever I go to the doctor. It's got to be nerves -- stress -- White Coat Syndrome -- fear of Dr. JellyFinger -- whatever -- but I always have to pass gas when I walk in there. It's like something clicks in my gut the minute I see those white coats. And it doesn't go away until I leave there.

Does any of this help you?

Yes, this does help, Bevrs, just to know I'm not the only one! I've had this problem even before the IBS, but of course it's worse know. I try to think back to my childhood to see if I had any traumatic experiences with shopping that would cause this, but come up empty!

This is from Jerry Seindeld's book Sein Language:
I also find a bookstore to be a wonderful laxative. I don't know what it is. I don't know whether it's the quiet, or all the available reading material, but you walk in there and something just happens. I really think they should eliminate a couple of aisles and put in some nice men's and ladies' rooms in the back, and then a bookstore would really be a wonderful place to visit.

The one store that gets me going is Toys R Us!! No idea why but when i was little i had a D attack on the way, another time i had a D attack at the store and i swear everytime i drive by it i feel like i have to go...weird! I haven't been back to that store in years and luckily i haven't had a reason to go. Maybe it is a mental thing but for some reason it happens!!
