Is there any drivers out there who has ibs d and deals with it.
Firstly, are you sure you have IBS? Doctors are notoriously bad at confusing it with COELIAC DISEASE, as are online/self help medical sites.
If your loose bowels are accompanied by headaches, tiredness or anaemia either occasionally or regularly you might well be a coeliac and you can dump the self medication regime, which is NOT good for your innards, for some simple diet changes. Ask a different doctor or pharmacist for some advice. Untreated coeliac disease is not good long term.
Secondly, stop before your destination and use a services/ truck stop loo. Your employer must recognise a medical problem under a ‘duty of care’ so shouldn’t object.
You forgot rapid weight loss as well [emoji6]
I know as I have Coeliac’s and lost 6st in less than 6 months [emoji50]
