Poo problem

Swim fine. Cycle fine. Run.... OMG why do I always need to go to the loo?
OK I eat fibre - its recommended that you eat fibre, but this is seriously getting me down now, whenever I start running I am almost doubled up (and have to slow down) as I need to poo.
I have tried the obvious - go for a poo before the event or the run but I never seem to be able to go 'on demand'.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this less than savoury topic?
Is there any method known that I can 'evacuate' my bowels before a run/event?
Any suggestions (sensible ones) would be greatful .

I only do it for racing and as a result sometimes still get a bad stomach when out running and have to dash back to the toilet.
Its the fear... the deep lurking fear that causes it...its sitting on your sholder during a race and its telling you to shit yourself.....
avoid fibre,
avoid high fat,
avoid caffeinne,try peppermint tea instead.
Try Andrews to settle the stomach(one teaspoon),or tread dangerously and treble the dose and evacuate the bowels before the race(would not really advocate the use of this though).

there corrected that for ya... no need to say thanks
failing that - as soon as you think you need to - do it - or it will keep playing on your mind (and your tummy!). Remember Paula at London - it still makes me laugh that some people think that was a wee!
