your most important purchase at a grocery store is toilet paper.

I was thinking "oh, I need to go to the grocery store - only a dozen rolls of TP left" - LOL

Also, I need a map of the mall to find out where the toilets are!

you know where every bathroom is on the way from Place A to Place B and how many steps it takes to get in it.
AND you have "favorites" lol.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with the "I need to have at least 8 rolls to spare in my bathroom" lol

when you know where the bathrooms and port-a pottys are when you're out on a run.. and you don't go very far away from that route!

You check every poop, even when you've been in remission for four years.

When you poop more than you pee
When all you want for Christmas is a porta-potty
When you carry with you everywhere
An extra pair of underwear
Cuz you know there's a good chance
That you will sh!t in your pants
When you've taken so much Prednisone
You feel like you have overgrown
Those pair of pants that once fit nice
But now they won't go past your thighs

You have sworn to punch the next person who asks if you can just take pepto right in the face.

Also, eating beets terrifies you because you're never QUITE sure it's not blood.

You're not even 25 and take more medication than your elderly relatives (though this is true for any autoimmune).

when you tell the person on the phone you really have to go...because...YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO!!

...you can name at least 5 probiotic brands in 5 seconds.

...you think enemas aren't a big deal.

Your pharmacist knows you by name and asks only one prescription today Rachael?

Your busy GI returns your call and you take it on the toilet. You finish your Facebook scrabble game on your laptop on the toilet.

...you know all the ingredients in your shampoo.

...you can't pee without pooping too.

...your toilet seat is completely PURPLE.

You have to wake up three hours before leaving your home.

...you think this thread is wicked funny! :)  (I REALLY like this thread!)
Posted 4/5/2010 8:45 PM (GMT 0)
You don't remember what it's like to fart without pooping too.

You freak out if your poo is the least bit abnormal.

You forget that other people usually do not find poo to be a valid topic of conversation. And that they do not want to hear the details of yours.

Your pantry alternates between two completely different sets of foods, flare foods and non-flare foods.

You have several sizes of clothes:
Normal, steroid (weight gain), flare (weight loss)
