  Wow, you sound like me. I ask myself the same freak'n questions all the freak'n time. I make myself stay at home a lot of times because I worry about my IBS acting up(most of the times it's already acting up). What can you do?

  tell me about it.... my husband loves to go out dancing. we have been married for 3 years and have only gone dancing twice!!!! all because i am afraid to leave the house and wait in line to get in the club.... sometimes i hate myself so much... being 23 and not doing a thing.... i am seriously considering buying that porta potty i saw in sears to keep in my car. it seems that if i have a toilet near by i dont really get the need to go but if i know there is no toilet then of course i am pooping my pants... to the point where i made my husband stop on the freeway in LA!!!

  I have thought of that. Now am wondering if Im really agoraphobic or just the IBS cuz thats the first thing I need to know or want to know how to get to!!

  I think this IBS has me on the road to being agoraphobic. Everytime I think of going out I want to know exactly where the restrooms are. Then I worry about getting in. I don't go out fishing in a place that doesn't have restrooms & one day I only made it in the door. It was terrible. If I didn't have low blood sugar I wouldn't eat before I went out but that doesn't work all of the time either. I know if I go to a restaurant I have to be near a restroom for awhile & once is not always enough. I just think of traffic jams & forget going anywhere. And I need to get out. It is an awfull thing to have to put up with. I told my husband the only place I am comfortable is in the bedroom next to or on the pot. It's great isn't it?

  WOW...you all sound like me and even though I don't have much to say or any advice i'm glad to see im not the only one. I really didnt know IBS controlled people the same way it does me. I hurt all the time and i really mean ALL the time, but when I try to put my head up and go out my IBS acts up bad and i end up right back in the house. I also have MRSA and everytime I have to take antibiotic, I end up on the couch with the heating pad til im done with the pills. I really want my life back...I want to go one week, or even one day without dealing with pain and watching what I eat...which hasnt been much besides bran and soup.
  I wish us ALL the best of luck.

This is for everyone who struggles to leave your home and do the things you love because of your IBS. For anyone who feels like IBS controls what you do and where you go! Lets support one another!
