Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Thanks, I will give the immodium a try. I haven't been completely housebound yet and can make it to the mall sometimes or to our local shops and to my doctors(all have toilets).

Travelling is my main anxiety, in the car or on the train when there is no toilet to hand, things tend to spiral out of control. In a car it's a little easier as you can quickly pull over to the nearest service station or public conveniece, but on the train there can be long delays between stops and if an attack hits, it's more luck than anything that I make it through.

Before my most recent attacks I had been able to get out for a few nice walks with my wife and dog, but as you know it really knocks you confidence when you have a relapse.

The other thing is that weekends have, until recently, always been better for me with regard to IBS. Not sure whether this is because all time pressures are removed, or I am not thinking / worrying about work activities...

Anyway, thanks for your support and advice.
Best regards
Tim
