Q: Explosive BMs

I hardly ever have a "normal" bowel movement. My bowel movements are always liquidy diarrhea (a lot of it, too!) and come without warning.

When I have a BM, it comes all of a sudden. Abruptly I will involentarily release a VERY loud fart, and as soon as that happens I will shortly after begin to involentarily release stool with no substance (mainly sludge-like liquid). I can try to hold it in, but often fail miserably.

This is horrible, because I have these BMs at many inconvenient, emabarassing times. Once I was stuck in a traffic jam for 2 hours. I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't, and was forced to sit in my own waste for the whole car ride. Once I was at a wedding. I tried to hold it in, but expeirienced very loud flatulence (much to everyone's annoyance.) Sevreal times have have defacated in bed! My explosive BMs happen at restraunts, in the car with people, at parties, the office... wherever!

One of the worst parts is being in a public restroom (when I get to one in time), and having people look at me in disgust when I get out. They can here the nasty squelching/farting/plopping noises I make that are so loud.

Sometimes the diarrhea will last for about an hour. It is always accomponied by loud gas. If I try to hold my diarrhea in, I have loud gas.

This has been going on about 3 years. I have a bowel movement everyday like normal, but they are always very greasy and diarrhea-like. It's only have these unexpected bowel movements every 2 or 3 days (and when I get them I often get 2 or more in one day. The most was 8 ).

I just had one of these episodes about five minutes ago. Right now, my tummy feels very gassy and cramped. I keep passing gas, and I can feel a bowel movement coming on.

What is wrong with me?

Thanks for reading!

This could be a case of diarrhea type of irritable bowel syndrome.
Diarrhea, abdominal cramps, abdominal bloating, abdominal fullness with gas, urgent calls for defecation could be due to irritable bowel syndrome.
Uncontrolled stool leakage is known as a fecal incontinence, that happens in people suffering from chronic diarrhea.
