Not sure what legal recourse you have. I work in a small office, its just me and the optometrist I work for. I can't take off because of my tummy or I would have to close the office. What I do is, revert to eating "what to eat when you can't eat anything." Take peppermints caps in the morning and around lunch. Buy those ThermaCare heating packs, you can get them at any drug store, usually by the feminine products. They are heat wraps you can put in your panties and it helps tummy relax. They sell them for menstrual cramps but work wonders for IBS. Just wear a longer shirt and no one will even notice. I know its awful to have to be at work when you are sick, wish I could help more.
