I'm having a bad tummy day and of course I am at work, so I have to share the potty with about 6 other stalls  I was just in there doing my business and the guy that cleans twice a day knocks on the door. So I know he is standing outside the bathroom waiting to come in and clean. I finished up as quicky as I could - and I feel worse now because I rushed - and had to do the walk of shame back to my desk. How humiliating! Is this day ever going to end?

Hi there...
Sorry you are having a bad day. I hate having "attacks" at work without the privacy of my own bathroom. Wouldn't IBS be much easier to handle if we didn't have to work?

oh you poor sweetie.... don't worry about the walk of shame....he can't prove it WAS you.... you said there is 6 stalls, right? You got room for a small can of airfreshner for your purse? (assuming you take it with you from your desk to the bathroom)
I carry this one in my purse and my gym bag.....
Citrus Magic - Travel Size
You can get them at most drug stores, or Target, Walmart, etc... and even some grocery stores
feel better soon ........

Last summer I was laid up for 7 weeks - I had foot surgery. I worked from home for those 7 weeks and they were my best IBS-weeks since I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Thank goodness this was the case - I was on crutches - mad dashes to the loo wouldn't have been easy!!
If only I could work from home full time. I think my IBS would cure itself!!!!

I actually do carry an air freshner - that really wasn't the humiliating part for me - I wasn't too stinky this time.  Thankfully!! There's also another woman I work with who brings her can of Aqua Net Hairspray into the bathroom every hour on the hour - I think she must go through a can a day! In any case - at least it smells better than stinky poo!
I was more mortified about the time it took me to finish up, knowing that he was outside the bathroom just standing there waiting.

I know mine would be better if I didn't have to work and if I didn't worry so much about pleasing others.

I think my IBS would be SOOO much better if work wasn't in the picture! You'd still eat something you shouldn't and get sick, but overall that underlying stress that walks around with you wouldn't be there;) I usually just go home during my lunch hour if I know an attack is coming-I can't bear to be at work! But, sometimes that's not the way things go. fun fun. i hope you feel better

I feel for ya. Been there done that. Even asked the clng man if I could get in before he cleaned. When its bad its bad. Finally, I'm older, wiser, semi-retired, and still living with this problem. The med practioners are telling me its hormonal because I'm menapausal. Just what I want to listen to. I eat healthy, exercise, get massages, never smoked.

Ugh I'm sorry I've been sick almost everyday of my current internship but thank goodness I'm an engineer! There are hardly any women in the field (relatively) so I can always dash off to a bathroom and have it to myself.
But I understand your embarassment; once I heard someone outside waiting so I left before I even started and ran off to another one. I couldn't stand the thought of someone out there listening and waiting!!
