Advising all toilets were full and passengers needed to "go really bad" the crew decided to divert to Billings, where the aircraft landed safely on runway 28R about 30 minutes later. No gate was available, the aircraft taxied to the cargo apron advising again there were a couple of passengers that "needed to find a lavatory very urgently. Passengers were able to disembark to find relief of built up pressures.
