You know what's weird?

I've worked office jobs like crazy, and every single one has been a problem with my IBS. At one, I was actually forced to quit because I wasn't productive... I spent too much time in the very convenient bathroom.

The weird part is that I worked a retail job last year for the holidays, and I thought it would be hell on my body - I was just starting a really bad IBS flare-up - and would you believe that I was FINE? The only ladies' room was upstairs and on the other end of the building, but in 2 months of working, I never had to make a single dash for it. I think the busy-ness of a physical job, especially this time of year, kept my mind off it completely.

Everyone's different... and I'm definitely not saying that this is the perfect job for you... but you never know. It could be not nearly as bad as you're afraid it'll be.

Good luck - I know you'll find something that works out well for you, even if this isn't it!
