IBS symptom?
Hi all
I am new here so a brief intro. Male, 84 (GP says healthy 84 yo!), had colonoscopy in Dec 2019 which was OK.
Last few months when sittingI get a feeling of wanting to “go”. When I stand up this feeling disappears in seconds. Very odd. Is this a common symptom of bowel disease? Motions OK when I’m eating properly -fruit veg fibre etc.
I haven’t come across this searches on the Internet so I am puzzled and concerned it might be an early sign of something serious.
I would welcome thoughts on this rare(?) symptom

Welcome to our community! I hope that we can be a source of helpful info and support to you. I'd encourage you to speak with your doctor about any new, changing or concerning symptoms, if you haven't already. I hope others here chime in and share their experiences with you. Sounds like the feeling you're having is fleeting and changes with position changes. Some with IBS deal with urgency feelings.
