i had been having difficult work problems too! as a result i ended up quitting my job, mainly for my IBS reasons--but also b/c the job was too stressful for me and causing me only further distress in my symptoms. im a C, the opposite of you, but i think everyone can relate with the work industry giving us a hard time. first of all, what is your job? i see youre only 22. im only 20--i worked part-time @ a panera-bread and also did babysitting on the side 3-4 times/week. the fact that i worked such long hours at panera and could never eat when i was hungry caused some problems. not to mention that im a vegan so nothing there was really fitting and it was also quite the opposite of "safe"! i mentioned to my boss that i had a digestive disorder that he was sympathetic towards b/c his wife also had one: ulceritive colitis. although if i called in, i usually used another reason aside from IBS [ie: cold] have you tried talking to a supervisor who you feel comfortable discussing this problem with? most people dont understand until you break it down for them. for the D you said you had, you could try the BRAT diet [bananas, rice, applesauce and toast] i read that helps for Ds. as for the C you said youre experiencing, have you tried psyllium? it causes bloating in some people so if you try it, maybe take it at nighttime so you sleep thru the bloat. i take it and its really good and always keeps me going. i also drink acacia-peppermint tea in the morning. so i dose both SFS at the start and end of my day. that seems to help keep things balanced but the thing with my work is i wasnt able to have such a balanced way of doing things. so my IBS took a toll and i felt terrible  hopefully that helps you some. sorry the post was so so so long!! good luck!
