Having IBD or a stoma can make meals out feel daunting. You name it, we’ve probably considered (and gotten anxious about) it:
- Leaving smells in public toilets
- Finding something appropriate on the menu
- Getting up to use the toilet during meals
- The noise our intestines can make
- Finding an outfit that’s comfortable AND nice
- Not knowing where the bathroom is, or wanting to be seated near it…
In this blog, I talk about the usual comments we get, which are usually well-meaning, but still, very annoying!
Then, I move on to the more interesting comments and assumptions I’ve had during meals out.
Check it out here.
Three of us in the picture actually have IBD, and the rest are close enough to us to understand.
