Miso, I'm not sure if your response was to me or someone else in the thread but good to note that this should be thought of as a chemical thing and not a weakness. That's what I'm thinking..like you who wasted two years avoiding it, I may be avoiding it and wasting valuable time in my life. I just started doing yoga and I'm still doing the hypno. I went to a dinner party last night (15 people there at the restaurant). I took just one immodium and ate super safely but felt like I had to "go" all day and even while there. I wasn't really that anxious though (it's so hard to say when an attack will come on...I was expecting it, I know, not good to think that way, but ironically I was alright). Luckily, I could "hold" it in sort of and then went to the bathroom twice with normal bms. Took another immodium at the restaurant b/c the bm made me nervous but I think I just had to go like a normal person. So I'm going to see if I have another attack any time soon and how often. I don't get up at night like you...mine usually precede some sort of event (which could strike many, many hours before it). Thanks for your response.
