I don't know if it's cycling related or not because I can't recall exactly when it started, but it's been multiple months now. I'm in my early 20's, basically a vegetarian (mostly pasta, rice, beans, bread, bagel, fruit). There's been more than a few uncomfortable situations when I'm not near a bathroom and would really like to hear any info about this. An odd question, but annoying enough to require posting a question.
Thanks!
Assuming that there is nothing physically amiss, what you describe may simply be the schedule your body is on. Are we talking about needing to go after every average meal or for example generally after lunch?
I once had a boss I could count on to hit the can every day after lunch. You could set your watch by it.
In lieu of posting this and the variety of advice you are going to receive, if you have concerns, professional medical advice is probably best.
