Bowel urgency: Any suggestions?

Zinc and castor oil in a cream but only use a thin layer

Thank you

A doctor told me to take Pepto Bismol 2x a day. That seemed to work. I do take a Metamucil pill every morning. It seems to have calmed things down. I still have diverticulitis and a fistula I'm told but not told what to do for it. So, I researched Online and found out lots of information. I now cook everything and then put it in a blender and eat my food as soup. So far, the pain has subsided. But, I'm so hungry. I did put a slice of white bread in the 'soup' to add to it's enjoyability. So far, so good. Will this ever go away?

Your comments about bowel urgency are very interesting to me because the same kind of thing has been happening to me and I thought it was/is gastric dumping syndrome. Incidents of urgency/diarrhea four days in a row on a recent road trip and additional incidents after returning home prompted me to get an appointment with a gastroenterologist (it's so frustrating when physicians are scheduling a month or more out). Identifying the trigger(s) for these incidents is a challenge.
