Does anyone find themselves stuck in the bathroom having a marathon of diarrhea for 30 minutes to an hour?
I try not to eat when friends family are around because this might trigger an attack of diarrhea which could have me stuck in the bathroom for a long time - like 30 minutes to an hour. I think this is why they don't seem to think anything is wrong with me. Does anyone have a similar experience?
I'm sorry that sounds stressful and not very fun. I can also see how it might lead them to minimize your condition, it's a catch-22 for sure. We certainly do have community members with similar concerns, such as https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/dinner-invitations-difficult It seems to be something many of those with IBS struggle with so you are definitely not alone. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with from here. Keep on keepin' on, DPM
