Sorry I can't be of any help other than to offer some support as an IBS-D sufferer who goes through the same thing. Mornings are my worst time. Sometimes I even have to turn around and hurry back home to the bathroom right after I get on the highway to head to work 20 minutes away. It's so frustrating. I seem to have it fairly under control now to where if I get up early enough before I go to work....say 2 hours early....then the most urgent morning trips to the bathroom are over with. Sometimes I make 4-6 trips to the bathroom before I leave the house and then another 1-2 before 10:00 at work. I have to leave for work by 7:30 a.m. If I feel I will have a particularly rough morning because of something I ate or stress....I will take a couple Imodium the night before. I don't know of any way to change your BMs from morning to evening. I've always heard that mornings are when they usually occur because that is when your system is most relaxed and just the process of waking up. By 12:00 noon or so, I'm pretty much OK the rest of the day as long as I don't eat the wrong things.

Good luck. I hope this helps.
