Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | so frustrated :'( any suggestions?

I've been working 5-11pm at mcdonalds because i don't leave the house all day until work because of all my bathroom problems. Well besides work the only time I leave is to go to the bank and wal-mart, thats always on my days off work.

My boyfriend wants to work at a job that pays $14 an hour and he wants me to work with him. It is a 9am-5pm job.

Mornings are worst and sometimes i feel like even working at 5pm is bad because I end up in the toilet all day and still don't feel empty. Last night I started having bad gass,no one noticed because it was quiet and I happened to not be standing next to someone..I knew a piece of crap was stuck in me trying to come out all day. I had to get to bed by 1am or I wouldn't get enough sleep. I kept gassing up and farting, it never came out until today!

I really want to work there..but becaue of ibs I have to work a low paying job and have wanted to work 3-12pm,like before I had ibs! My checks were more satisfactory..I'm always in the negative on my bank account.. I really want to save money and move out so I can get the F away from my sister,mom, and dad. Uhh, there's so much drama and problems here and everyone trys to but into my buines! I tend to just ignore it and not talk to anyone unless I need to or they talk first. I tend to just do my own thing and drink fennel tea all day,take peprmint capsules,regimint,acacia,papaya enzyme..I spend my day straining and um self removing stools. How can a person go all day and not be empty?!

I also want to work out,but my bathroom issues act up in the morning and I have to drink tea,take supplements and pee and have ibs problems all day...

BTW,my boyfriend doesn't even know I have ibs becaue our work schedules are a little diffrent and he only comes over after 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and spends about an hour or 2 here..,I've been able to hide ibs,but alot of times felt like I wasn't gonna be able to because of how I was feeling and such..No one I work with knows either.I've been able to not tell anyone because I don't have friends besides my boyfriend and only see ppl I like from work at work and always don't hang out with anyone..

Someone please help me and make suggestions. Is there anyway I can work that job? I haven't been able to hardly do anything with my life..I want to force myself but at the same time can't be on the toilet or having these problems!!
