I leave a little early often because there is a stretch on my ride home with NOWHERE to stop and it can send me into a panic when I'm flaring up. Yes I am lucky that she knows. The owner of our company another V.P. knows, as well as most of my coworkers. I tried the whole I can't eat that because I have food allergies and excuses but for some reason that just got more questions. I find when you tell people you have IBS-D they tend to shut up, ask good questions, have it themselves, or know someone who has it. Mine is often triggered by my anxiety so one Saturday my neice needed someone to take her to her softball tournament. It was me and only me as her option, so my sister asked if she could tell the team mom and another mom incase I had to disappear. I did OK that day and I think it's because there wasn't so much stress to not have a problem. I don't tell everyone though, and some people still don't get it when I do tell them.
