I wanted to ask the following: Can FMLA be used for IBS? I work at a Lab in a hospital and I cannot use sick time unless I am out more than 3 days, well my flare ups do not last but maybe 2 days at the most if I am lucky. If I can be covered by FMLA I can use sick time. Please Help!

This describes pretty well what can be covered:

I have one coworker who used the provision to justify a part-time schedule. I think it depends on how liberally the employer is willing to interpret the regs.
