What do you do??

What do you do when you are suppose to attend a special event, because the event is in your honor, and you just started a flare up of your colitis? Also people coming in from out of town for this event. I know that there is no fast fix for this but is there anything out there that could just get me thru 3-4 hours of relief so I can attend?
Please, any info will help .

the event is this Saturday, but thank you for your response.

5. High dose IV corticosteroids at your local ER

This! Not sure if you have any leftover steroids, or can get a prescription for prednisone by calling your gasteroenterolgist, but I'd try! Steroids often work lightning fast. I'd recommend not eating in advance of arriving (6 or more hours in advance of) as input directly affects output. I'd recommend taking imodium an hour before the event to slow your bowels down.

Gotta ask, what did you do to get an event in your honor? I wish somebody would have a gathering for me that isn't an intervention (i.e., while everyone likes the cute kittens and puppies on reddit's /r/aww, you are spending too much time there John...). Kidding of course ;-).

I swear by immodium. I’m flaring pretty badly right now and find myself taking it almost every day or two because I can’t just put my life on hold right now. Weekends are a different story but I can’t spend 3 hours of my 8 hour work day in or running back and forth from the bathroom. My job is why I have insurance that pays for about 90% if the cost of my meds so I’m not in a position to lose it... so I’ll hold off as long as possible and if I’m still pooping 30 min after onset I’ll cave and take two.
