You have tenesmus which is very common in both IBS and IBD. You really need to see your GP and explain that you never feel your bowel empties. They can at least make some suggestions to help. As for probiotics, it is a minefield out there. Many take them and say they help symptoms a lot, but others have said it has aggravated symptoms. Again, you need to maybe keep a diary and jot down what happens when taking these....in your shoes I would see the GP in the first instance.
