How many of us have socially debilitating symptoms?
I have a coworker who goes 3-4 times a day. Does his best to clean up after himself but there are signs a war has taken place. We usually avoid using that bathroom after him. With that said, I would love to only have what this guy has. If we didn't work in a small office, I wouldn't have known anything was "wrong" with him. He is a totally normal guy. Happy, carefree, married with young kids. He just has to poop now and then!
I am searching up posts trying to find the kinds of embarrassment people have to deal with, and it's usually "my stomach making noises" or "I make loud sounds when I poop", "ran to the bathroom", etc... I'm not trying to downplay anyone's symptoms but hearing people complain about things like this makes me feel alone.
Then again, I wonder if those with really embarrassing symptoms stick to the shadows, which is why I don't find them out in the wild? Maybe they are too embarrassed to make a reddit post about it?
Is there anyone else whose lives have completely changed because of their gut health?
