If you have irritable bowel syndrome, it's basically hard to treat, very common, and solved by a simple thing: availability of public restrooms.

It's not a shame to feel the sudden urge to take a shit. What's a shame is blaming people for feeling the urge.

> There is no world in which a healthy person must shit on the street.

Healthy people are not the only ones a city must be designed for. From Wikipedia: "About 10–15% of people in the developed world are believed to be affected by IBS."

And note IBS is not the only reason to feel the sudden urge to take a dump.

Coffee affects me strongly. What can I say. I get a cleanse every morning for 3 bucks. Cleansing your digestive tract is actually really good for you. People pay big bucks for cleanses.

Are you a doctor or something? You’re not this posters friend nor in a social position where it’s appropriate to insist on their health status. (Pointing this out because you might simply not know you’re crossing a line.)

having regular bowel movements is actually really healthy.. it's only an issue if youre in a place with no public restrooms available

This isn't a regular bowel movement.

Regular as in "occuring at uniform intervals"

If your regular bowel movement involves shitting in the street, you need immediate mental health intervention.

Your opinions have been voted down so many times this thread is filled with your dead comments and not a single person has vouched for you other than me. I can no longer vouch for you. Also youre flame baiting which is a clear violation of HN policy @dang.

You probably need to take a class on improving your poor reasoning skills and as another poster said: seek mental health care.
