Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Newbie with a question! Hello everyone!

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting but I've been reading this message board for quite a while. Reading everyone's comments and questions have helped me on those really ugly IBS days. Plus, I've had a great time trying out some of your recipes and enjoyed them all!
I'm 24 year old vegetarian and live in Los Angeles and work from home, which is helpful with the whole anxiety about having an attack at work (and those days when I do have attacks). Mostly, IBS D attacks, but on occasion, I have IBS C. As a child, I always had constipation problems and with any stress, anxiety, or excitement, I'd have diarrhea. It seems I've had IBS for most of my life. Every day I fight anxiety and panic attacks and emetophobia--so I think my own emotional and psychological problems bring on attacks just as often if not more often than food.

And now, a quick question, does anyone ever pass a bowel movement, but feel like there's more left? Or sometimes, have the urgent need for the bathroom, and then only pass very little excrement?
