Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | No Dignity When it Come to an Attack!

Omigosh you guys tonight was the most horrible/embarrassing night ever!

I went for tea with a couple of my girls and I had apple pie (actually just the apple - no crust or anything)
and some peppermint tea. Anyways - I felt an attack coming on so I calmly headed to the washroom only to
find it was busy....all the stalls had someone in them. I stood and tried to wait calmly, but the attack was
coming and I knew I couldn't hold it anymore. I headed out in the hallway and took some deep breaths hoping
someone would leave the stall, but no one was budging so......I HAD TO USE THE MENS ROOM.... I listened and no one was in there and I HAD to go....in I went. I had never been in one before so I hope it wasn't just urinals.

I thought worse case I could laugh and pretend to be embarrassed about "accidentally" using the wrong washroom.
But I was so scared I just quickly as I could finished up and washed my hands (those taps were brand new - I don't
think men wash their hands after washroom visits LOL - not to group all men the same) and headed out of there.

I have learnt that IBS will take away all dignity you have and leave you frantic. You pretty much just do watcha gotta do!

Just thought I would share,
