...you pour your pills out on your desk and decide which two you can swallow at a time

...you find out they are reorganizing your office floor and you actually pray you still end up near a bathroom

reviving an old thread joke.....

Your husband is relieved when he hears you fart because he thinks you will feel better;-)

When everyone knows they can talk TMI with you because you have a good knowledge about the digestive system and poop is not taboo to you!

When a pregnant facebook friend asks for suggestions on how to deal with nausea- and despite having never been pregnant, you have more suggestions than all her other facebook friends combined.

You know you have Crohn's disease when...

... you'll consider buying a new house simply to get second bathroom, (that is if your spouse has IBS & a considerable ability to dawdle.)

... your new Dr in this case (ENT) suggests you start eating a blander diet & you actually laugh, at the statement, out loud & in his face.

... I wanted to be near my own bathroom is a valid reason to cancel birthday & holiday visits to family.

... you are fairly certain that the drug Asacol was named as a joke by a chemist to see if anyone higher up in the company was paying attention.

... a new pill case is now something you'll decide to "treat yourself" to.

... remembering to stay chill & having a good sense of humor is now the way you get through each day. For that I applaud you all & remind you that you're doing a good job, keep it up.

Acquaintances stop you and and ask what great diet plan you have been on.

Idiotic family members hear you have been deathly ill and wistfully say, "Well at least you lost a lot of weight."

You read blogs about crohn's on your laptop while sitting on the toilet!

Love all these answers. Humor is the way to go!!!

....your husband farts and shouts "Ha revenge at last!"

You need to maximize your time, so you make all your calls to the insurance company and about medical bills while sitting on the john;-)

...when you envy your dogs poo as you pick it up.

...you have a spare pair of PANTS in your purse.

...if you're house was on fire and you had time to only grab one thing...and you grab your stash of butt meds.

...when you're happiness is gauged by the number of poops you've had that day.

...when your pharmacist no longer asks for your name when you go to pick up meds, they already know you.

...when you have to control the urge to throttle the living daylights out of the next person that says they wish they could be you because you're so thin.

...the first thing that gets completed in your big home remodel is the updated second bath water closet with ceiling exhaust fan, outdoor view window and reading shelf!
