Toilet nightmare

Does anybody find themselves avoiding situations due to experiencing diarrhoea , staying home incase it happens  or if you can't find a toilet in time, if anybody else experiences this what are some of your coping mechanisms as I can't seem to find a cure no matter where I go which is hardly anywhere it always ends up happening

Hey iJUSTwantTObe

I can totally relate.  

I call them 2sec warnings, because that's how long I have from being aware I need to go to actually going.  Horrid!!

For myself I've explored other causes on top of anxiety.

There's soooo many things I can't eat for this very reason.  Main ones for me are fruit especially citrus and vitamin C (let's not even go there!).

Have you tried out a naturopath?  Just to explore if diet is contributing.  Also your GP?

Please stay in touch

cheers amamas

That can also be a result of high anxiety. I too get it when I;m anxious. I would look into medical reasons first, then continue to address the anxiety if there isn't a medical reason for it.
