You are likely experiencing sensations from the Gastrocolic reflex. Heather talks about its effect on the colon here. It affects the whole GI tract. Individuals with IBS can be sensitive to the sensations produced by it perhaps due to the brain-gut dysfunction.

If it is IBS related it is unlikely to be fixable however it might be manageable through dietary change, medication, psychological tools, exercise and alternative means.
