" I feel your pain, i hate having to be in high school too, and not being able to go to the bathroom whenever i need so i dont have to face embarressment
& in ways i wish i could have something else wrong with me, that has a cure.
If there was a surgery for this id do it in a heartbeat, its just a life ruiner "

" I was recently treated for a thread worm- when I was having really debilitating issues with diarrhea, bloating, nausea and other things- after I got treated I felt a lot better- although I am still fighting IBS on top of things- but I think the parasite couple with an infection triggered the IBS. I had originally though that the parasite was causing all my problems- but the doctor told me that my labs just showed that I had had the parasite at some time in my life- not that I had it now- so that was confusing.
I too have to rush around trying to find bathrooms- it's been really hard at work because I teach special ed and I really shouldn't leave my kids alone- but I have to rush out and go- and then I can't leave the bathroom to tell anyone... it's awful. I've wondered if I could disability for IBS so I could just stay home and poop in the comfort of my own home! "
