You just say whatever you think with no supporting evidence.
Viewing ones unsupported opinions as more accurate than science (especially in a medical context) is considered delusional thinking by the psychiatric community and it's definitely indicative for a referral to a psychiatrist.

You and OP appear to agree there is a significant problem, you just disagree where the "blame" lies.
OP suggests the built environment is insufficient. You baselessly assume OP must have a serious medical issue as, apparently, you can't imagine that the built environment is really the appropriate villain to finger in this case.
Before anyone jumps up to accuse me of nefarious intent and of being secretly on the side of "America's built environment could stand to be improved" I'll just openly admit that's exactly where I stand and save you a bit of furious typing.

Whether the GP has a medical issue or not, people with bowel-control problems still deserve to be able to travel the city. There just need to be restrooms available for them. There's no simple cure, so their doctor won't be able to solve that problem for them.

Exactly. You can get a venti coffee at Starbucks and get a refill for 52 cents and if you're not from San Francisco, you don't realize how brutal the public toilet situation is until its too late.
Not sure about the corollary as long flights always have restrooms and the time to use them. But maybe you are just uncomfortable on airplane toilets which is fine.
If you have irritable bowel syndrome, it's basically hard to treat, very common, and solved by a simple thing: availability of public restrooms.
It's not a shame to feel the sudden urge to take a shit. What's a shame is blaming people for feeling the urge.
> There is no world in which a healthy person must shit on the street.
Healthy people are not the only ones a city must be designed for. From Wikipedia: "About 10–15% of people in the developed world are believed to be affected by IBS."
And note IBS is not the only reason to feel the sudden urge to take a dump.
If actual an scientific white paper from PubMed with research and data does not convince you that coffee has a strong laxative effect on around 30% of people, then there's not much else to say.
There's still people who believe the world is flat despite all evidence to the contrary.
It's very difficult to have a discussion with someone who prefers their own opinions over science.
Coffee affects me strongly. What can I say. I get a cleanse every morning for 3 bucks. Cleansing your digestive tract is actually really good for you. People pay big bucks for cleanses.
> 100% of the time a doctor can help you in some way
Nothing that starts with the claim "100%" is ever true, you can be 100% certain of that.
Seriously though, you speak as if your digestive system has never betrayed you, and therefore you're unfamiliar with these matters.
Trust me: there are some things your doctor cannot help you with, at least, not to the point you can walk in a city without public restrooms. Some things are not even medical conditions -- and IBS is "idiopathic" in many cases, meaning doctors don't have a clue -- and some conditions that you would consider anomalous actually fall within the normal human spectrum.
You'll feel the urge to contradict me: don't. You probably don't know about this, but both me and the other commenter you're arguing with do. Realize that your experience is not everybody else's.
What does any of this have to do with what I said? Regardless of how much a doctor can help you or not, if you’re shitting uncontrollably in the streets, you need to seek medical attention to determine if they can do anything about it.

Are you a doctor or something? You’re not this posters friend nor in a social position where it’s appropriate to insist on their health status. (Pointing this out because you might simply not know you’re crossing a line.)
Yes, you asked a question, and then insisted further because the answer isn’t good enough for you. You’re not this persons friend, you’re not this persons doctor and you haven’t claimed any medical experience. You’re being a weirdo. Let it go, dude.
Nothing the OP said made it seem like they were fine pooping in the street. If anything it’s pretty clear they don’t think it’s acceptable. They just don’t think it’s a medical issue. You’re insisting that it is, but you’re not their friend and you’re not a doctor and you don’t have medical training in identifying what is normal and abnormal bowel behavior. That’s being a weirdo because you’re crossing a social line here. Even if you personally think it is, you’re not in a social position where your insistence isn’t incredibly rude.
Several people are telling you to chill out/back off not because it’s acceptable to shit on the street, but because it’s not acceptable to insist on the health status of someone without first establishing either rapport or appropriate relevant knowledge that justifies breaking a social boundary. You have no justification, so your suggest was a little nosey, and your insistence is flagrantly rude.

sounds like OP
1. knows that he gets uncontrollable diarrhea from coffee.
