How's your boss? I used to be a teacher and was terrified of having to leave the room/school day because of an attack. Finally, I confided in my principal. I briefly explained IBS and how I had good days and bad, and sometimes, I needed lots of potty time. He was SOOOO understanding. He even arranged for a back up teacher (the resource teacher) to pop in my room if I needed to leave.
My point, if you think your boss is an understanding person, consider confiding in him/her. If you don't think they'll be understanding, get a Doctor's note. Be very open in stressing that you are NOT taking advantage and that you are making every effort to make it into work.
Have faith in people. Often, you will be pleasantly surprised.
