Re: Teaching and IBS       04/26/06 01:14 PM Edit Reply Quote JLL24 Reged: 09/23/04 Posts: 312 Hello, I don't have IBS but I do have ulcerative colitis and have had it for almost 3 years now. I just finished teacher's college and hope to be working as a teacher in the fall. I had to do 4, three week placements for the program and like you said the bathroom can be tricky at times. I found that my first week would be a little bit of an adjustment at the school, getting used to 'going' to the bathroom only at recess and lunch and sometimes only lunch if things were busy and the kids needed to stay in for extra help at recess. I would advise being somewhat stable prior to starting the program because it is a pretty intense 8 months and I think the fact that I'm stable on meds right now really helped. I haven't had an attack yet but I'm sure that you can get the teacher next door to cover your class if it was an emergency and you need to go to the washroom. I don't think there's really any job that is totally 'IBS friendly' so really I think it's important to do something you love doing and manage the IBS as best as you can. Good luck in your career decisions. Jenn Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
