If you are on an every two hour schedule throughout the day, that sounds a little weird to me. It's possible that your lower GI tract has somehow gotten into that pattern of spasming, but I just don't know. If you haven't had the full range of tests that Heather recommends, I'd do so.
Also - and this is way out in left field, so don't freak - when you see your GI, ask about parasite testing. Stuck somewhere in the back of my brain is the thought that cyclic, frequent BMs can result from parasites. I can't remember where I read this - or even if I just made it up - but do double-check.
I'm not even sure I'd classify you as C at this point. If you're having some type of BM every couple of hours, you may be having "rabbit pellet" ones simply because your colon can never build up any kind of mass. (Okay, icky visual. Sorry.) It's sort of like if you pee, then you try to pee again 15 minutes later. There simply isn't very much in there.
What are you doing in terms of Heather's diet and an SFS?
