IBS on the Job

Saturday April 26, 2008
Imagine a workplace with private access to a luxury bathroom, perhaps one with a whirlpool bath and a flat-screen television. You could disappear for hours on end and no one would bother you. While you are at it, imagine a job description that never involves deadlines, travel or public speaking. Maybe under these circumstances, IBS wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

For the rest of us with real jobs, dealing with IBS at the workplace can be very difficult. To help you with this, I have written a new article: “IBS on the Job: Six Point Survival Guide”. Here you will find some tips for balancing your physical needs with the demands of your job. And in the meantime, it doesn't hurt to dream, does it?
