After 31 years of IBS-D and 2 years of not working at all my social security disability has been approved. Just wanted everyone to know that it can happen. I do have other problems but the IBS-D is the one that I cannot work at all because of. Actually it controls my whole life. I will keep hoping one day they will find a cure for this terrible problem. But at least I don't have to worry about working and having accidents anymore. I did want to tell everyone that the thing that helped me the most was the Dr. slips I got for work explaining that I need to go to restroom a lot and why.
Also the fact that I had went on FMLA several times to try and fix my problem. So if you are struggling at work talk to your Dr. about new medication and FMLA to try and correct your problem. Over the years I have got so much good advice from this forum. Not to mention sympathy and understanding when needed. Thank you all so much.
