For me it’s going out. I have other conditions as well but I don’t understand how people have time to date.

I’m married with IBS. It’s all about finding a partner who is understanding about the limits of your medical conditions!

I tried flushing my leggings down a chili's toilet lol. It was traumatic at the time, but now it's a good party story.

It's definitely has for me. Going out to dinner with someone I have to plan on what to eat and how much to have so I don't have any serious problems. And for the bedroom well let's just say that doing it "in the back door" is 100% off the table, and it's awkward to tell that to someone you're intimate for the first time and they want to try.
