I always carry Imodium with me. It doesn't work right away so I don't go anywhere that doesn't have a bathroom. And I have gone home early because I've soiled myself. Most of my friends and my family know of my problem so I don't have to lie about it. It's darn frustrating, though!

I always say it is the equivalent to having a stomach bug...every single day!

Think about when you have the flu and you need to get to a bathroom right away, well thats how I feel when I eat something that my body doesnt like.

I have medication I take twice a day so I have to eat 2 x’s and like my Mom says I eat like a bird. They know how to transplant hearts, lungs, eyes, etc... When are they going to learn to do some kind of surgery to fix us Besides just going to permanent illiostomy/colonoscopy bags on us
