The Painful Embarrassment of IBS: Irritable Bowel Syndrome
You walk doubled over as you head for the nearest public washroom. Your abdominal muscles clench up so tightly that it is impossible to straighten up. Strangers look at you and you try not to notice as the sweat starts to form on your skin and urgency threatens to explode immediately. You begin to worry that you might not make it in time.
