Sequoia, if it's not the walking, then my guess would be anxiety. Worrying about having an attack and not being able to find a bathroom is enough to encourage an attack on even the strongest gut. I had this problem so badly, I had gotten to the point where I couldn't even leave the house. My solution was Michael's hypnosis program. Before I had completed the 100 days, I was over my anxiety and able to get out and go places. I still carried my emergency medicine cabinet in my purse, but nevertheless, I got out and even enjoyed myself!
Yep, anxiety's my guess.

I don't know if most of the post are from IBS -d folks but I am IBS-c and this happens to me sometimes. I think for me it is not anxiety as mentioned in other post but that the shopping relaxes me and then I'll feel the urge.

ME TOO... does not mater WHAT store....or Resturant...it just happens. The lady at Bartell Drugs just sees me and knows within a few minutes I'll be looking for her to let me into the back to go to the bathroom. Everywhere I go...I KNOW where the bathrooms are and just kind of head that direction and walk around a few minutes before I even bother shoppin... really it is like clock work.... unless I just need 1-2 items and can run in and out..... I'll be in that darn bathroom.
Last time I was home sick because of "C" and I was in so much pain..... I kid you not...I drove up to Bartell's and walk around for 10 mins....TAAAAAADDDDDDDDDAAAAAAA........poop time!!  Just need that movement I guess?????

I agree sequoia, i bet it's the anxiety that gets to you. Also maybe some pre-wired thinking like um self-fulfilled prophecy kind of thing where you pretty much know it's gonna happen, so it's bound to happen. Try to relax, take some deep breaths and don't think about having to run to the bathroom every time you go shopping. I thought shopping was the only haven we have? :P Good luck and hang in there. I have to go take a walk soon to some stores. I hope i make it. LOL
