Hi, i'm 24 and married for 1 year. My IBS-D came on a few months before i met my husband..one of the hardest parts about it is that he doesnt understand my anxiety or urgency!! i usually just use the front of me being a home-body, but reality is that i hate shopping, movies, restuarants etc because of my ibs! His parents are taking us to Hawaii this march and i am absolutely dreading it..the last time we went to the airport and had to park in long-term and wait for the shuttle to come get us, i got extreme anxiety and there are no bathrooms until you ride the bus for several minutes are it loops around the airport stopping several times to pick up other people!! i barely held it til we made it to the airport! so, needless to say i am terrified to do it again, and want to get help asap!! my dr couldnt get me in until mid-january, the last time i went he prescribed me some muscle relaxer thing that didn't help a bit. i am practically addicted to immodium as a preventative measure when i have to go out. i just ordered the starter kit and this sight makes me think there may be some hope for me!! oh yeah.. another thing, my in laws want to stay in hawaii for 7 days, which means 7 days of eating out (at restaurants that you walk to..) riding bathroom-less boats around in the ocean for hours, taking hikes w/several people around and obviously no bathrooms.. i am not sure what to do about this, if i should say something about my inability to go anywhere without a bathroom, and totally hamper their trip..if i should back out now.. or if there is something i can do..
