Good for you!!! You should really be proud - it is HARD to tell people you have IBS when you're not used to doing so. But it's really funny how often the person you tell either has it themself or knows someone close who does.
Hope you're giving yourself a big pat on the back for being brave. And I know your co-worker is glad you spoke up because you really helped her feel better too.
Best, Heather
