Losing Friends Over IBS?       12/14/03 08:57 AM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State I just lost a friend who I thought was sympathetic to my plight but proved differently. She and her husband kept inviting me and mine to go fishing with them in the back woods. While it sounded like fun, I really don't do well with hanging my butt over a log. Also, when I asked if there were any bathrooms along the long route getting to the lake, she said most definitely not. I just can't do that. I explained my problem with the IBS, and she seemed to understand (although she did not understand my needing a bathroom when there are so many logs around!), but I never hear from her anymore, and when I called her the last few times it was obvious she was not interested. This is really frustrating to me because now I'm hesitant to tell anyone "new" about my condition. I'm trying to get to the point where I don't need to first "scout out" all the public bathrooms in the area where I want to go, but it's a very slow process. Anyone else out there losing friends over this? Bev -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
