Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: New... and not lovin' it!

I'm in my last year of highschool, well i've actually graduated but decided to come back to take 2 other courses that i wanted & needed, anyways...i'm planning on going to University next year. I don't know how the teachers are there but i finally decided to tell my teachers this year about my IBS becuase during on of my final exams last year i rushed through because i started feeling sick and was afraid i was going to need the bathroom. The point is, maybe the teachers will make special accomodations for you during tests/exams. I was actually kind of scared to tell my teachers just because it's not something most people are comfortable telling other people, ecspecially about maybe having to run to the bathroom during class. It turned out though that one of my teachers wives has IBS! He understood totally and told me that i can just get up and leave whenever with no questions asked. I know not all teachers will be that understanding but it's worth a shot and it's definitely helped reduce my levels of anxiety about class and tests now. I'm not sure what else to suggest since i'm not in university or college yet but i'm definitely learning a lot of tips for when i go away next year! Oh and maybe to help stress levels see if there are yoga classes that you could attend at a gym nearby or one that's in your university. Good Luck!
