You're doing the right thing by seeing a doctor. Your condition is treatable. In the meantime, stay away from high fiber foods such as nuts, raw veggies, oatmeal, beans, etc.
God damn, that's about 65% of what I eat, except for the beans. I'd wither away to nothing, if it weren't for veggies, nuts & raisins, oatmeal, snausages, carne asada burritos, and, of course, candy, (along with some regular food)...

OK, I have to add, I do have documented IBS, too. When it hits you have to get ahead of the game. As a driver, often enough, I'm far away from relief, and the pain is intolerable. I hit the first place I can find, and I've even used a guardrail, at night, under cover of darkness. More importantly here, for explaining my urge issues, is that the closer I get to a facility, the stronger the urges. No, I don't usually have recurring urges twenty or thirty minutes apart, as described by the OP, but I do put pressure on my lower belly, leaning way over, when I am on a toilet, sometimes leading to one last purge, when I thought I was done, but "felt" I had more to go. IBS sucks, and I've only had a diapered mess twice, and minimal, at that, but, for someone that doesn't do "the deuce", as a DL, that was enough to get me to react to the early warning signs.
It should be noted that I get the same horrid urges, with normal poo, when I get near the toilet, at home, especially! It's like my body knows the porcelain is right around the corner, and wants to get a head start on the pushing... Hate that!
