What do you eat before your runs (er..no pun intended)? Although you may not have changed your diet, the extra jostling from running in addition to a high fiber meal before your run, may be the culprit. When I used to run at night, and I had a salad for lunch or a lot of fruit throughout the day, I would get uncomfortable too. It would really hurt my run because of stitches or the need to walk to reduce the bouncing motion. Try timing your last meal at least a few hours before your run. You can maybe snack on something to slow your digestion (if you drink hot water with lemon with your last meal, this will help to slow down the emptying of your stomach).
Just my  . I'm not a nutritionist, though, so you may want to check this out with a doctor.

You can try Gas-X to help with the gas. Dunno about the other problem though. Maybe too much coffee before you run. Coffee has that effect on lots of people.

A couple thoughts... one is to make your biggest meal of the day after your run and preceeding your run, keep the snacks light the few hours before and any meals within 12-hrs before be on the smallish side.
And another truth is that your body will simply get better and better at not "having to go" as you run more. I've read about this and talked with people time and time again. Like you were just about able to do here, plan your running routes so you have a facility available after the first mile. And maybe again after the second mile. As you consistently get your body used to running the same time of the day, everyday, it will get accustomed to the routine and you'll find yourself becoming better at "emptying the tank" before you head out. But it might take a handful of weeks with pit-stops during those first couple miles before it all comes together.
Good luck

I have to agree with this. I have run a few afternoon runs recently and my body is not "use to it"....my boday knows to get ready for midmorning or noon.....and early race day....nerves gets things going. If I try to run at different times.....there is uncomfortableness (I guess I mean discomfort)
