Have you ever requested FMLA from work due to your IBS? What was your experience?

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees qualified workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year. During leave, workers keep their jobs and health benefits. There are certain qualifications that must be met in order to be considered (learn more here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/resources-disability), but this can be helpful for those who can not work due to a chronic medical condition.

If you've taken FMLA - what was your experience? Do you have advice for others?

If you've considered taking it, what questions do you have for the community?
