Urgency can turn a meeting, commute, shift, class, or new workplace into a planning problem. That disruption is real. It does not mean symptoms are imaginary, nor does it identify a cause by itself.
Capture impact as well as symptoms
For one working week, note when urgency began, whether you could reach a bathroom, bowel changes, pain or nausea, how much it interrupted your plan, and relevant context such as commuting, meals, sleep, illness, menstruation, or a medicine change. Avoid turning the log into a list of foods to fear.
Make a usable summary
At the end, identify the most common time window, how often access felt uncertain, and what practical impact followed. Hara can check current context, log episodes in plain language, retrieve the week, and compare it with lower-symptom days. This gives a clinician a concrete start for a discussion about symptoms and function.
Safety comes first
Contact a clinician promptly for blood in stool, fever, severe pain, persistent vomiting, dehydration, unexplained weight loss, or a clear new or worsening bowel pattern. A short log supports care; it does not replace it.
