I'm fortunate/unfortunate to work in a very small office with a small staff totalling five folks, and the bathroom is maybe six feet from my desk (a godsend when the IBS was flaring up in a paritcularly evil manner.... damned Splenda).

Fortunately, I AM the boss, so I don't have to deal with an uncaring boss... and my employees know I have IBS-D. But even before I got this position, my boss was very sympathetic (course, that was pre-diagnosis).

I just feel fortunate that my IBS isn't so bad that I've had to miss work (other than the day off I took for the colonoscopy).

The worst part about working and IBS for me is that my schedule is erratic because of the events I have to cover. Planning meals around that is a nightmare... so I just make sure I have lots of safe snacks and tea.

I love my electric teapot muchly, yes I do.
