I am having a hard time with 2 things you mentioned: doing activities right after eating and riding in the car with others afterwards.

My husband and sons don't understand. When we are traveling, I beg them to just wait 5-10 minutes (at least!) until we get back in the car and on the road. They just roll their eyes and each time, they ask me why. Why do I have to explain in detail my bowel movements every time? I don't know when they will ever understand that I will not get in the car unless I know my tummy's stable.

Also, I would love to go to walk, to the outdoor symphony, to a fireworks show, but I would never.....because I might have to GO and there might not be a bathroom available.

Also, a lot of time friends get together at a restaurant and they all want to carpool. I do go out to eat with my husband, but only at restaurants near our house and ones where I know where the bathrooms are! I can't go out to eat with a group----on the other side of town. If I did, I would be so NERVOUS wondering WHAT IF something happened to my tummy. I feel trapped, and I think the stress makes it worse.

It is nice to know that others understand this. I wish my family and friends could trade places with me for just one day so they would understand.
