I find myself feeling very envious when I see people walking down the street eating ice cream or chips or drinking a soda. I do cheat at times with some of these things but I have to make sure I am going to be home near a bathroom just in case.

What I am more jealous of is that people without IBS can go on a road trip, bus tour, to the beach, out to eat or to a friends house and even something as simple as taking a walk right after eating without a thought about a bathroom and where the closest one is. I wouldn't care what kind of food I ate if I could do things without thinking about a bathroom where ever I go. I stress out so much about this I find I don't want to ride in the car with anyone other than my family for fear that I will have an attack. I hate this part of having IBS. Even when I am stable which I am most of the time now I worry.

There are so many things that I do not do because of IBS. Just can't take the stress of worrying about the possibility of needing a bathroom.

The last time I was home visiting my sister wanted to go to NC (about a 40 min. drive) to eat dinner at an oyster bar. I told her flat out that there was no way I would drive that far to eat a meal.

Hubby always teases me that I know every bathroom in town. It is true, every path I take in the car I scope out the bathrooms in case I ever have to stop.

It is crazy and I feel like I am obsessive sometimes about it. It can't be helped though as I have been caught too many times having to do "D" and there is no bathroom around.
