Flying with IBS

First thing, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I am not sure where a rather odd question like this goes!

I am due to fly on Friday, my first flight in many years. The reason being I have IBS and I get very little warning before needing the toilet. Im comfortable once the plane is in the air etc, but the stress/pressure of not being able to have access to a toilet during the belts on phase (take off/landing) is not helpful!

If I am sat in the back row aisle seat and suffer an attack during take off and landing, I would need to use the toilet within 2 minutes. It's unlikely but possible and unfortunately unavoidable. How would that scenario play out? I don't want to end up arrested for getting out of my seat! Would the cabin crew let me use the toilet (at my own risk of course)
