I’m glad to see everyone being so understanding and supportive. I looked up this exact topic and as one person stated, in older threads people with mild IBS gave advice like chewing on an Altoid and going to the bathroom before a ride, avoiding triggers. It was disheartening seeing people assume IBS is the same or even similar for everyone. I get a lot of that in my daily life “why can’t you come? I have IBS too just take an Immodium!” and I’m so happy to see people finding a solution to make Disney doable for them.
GI conditions suck for everyone and are debilitating for many. I missed half of my own wedding reception, my husband’s graduation, and funerals of loved ones. For 10 years I barely strayed from one side of town much less went on vacation. I am now on Viberzi, the most intense IBS-D drug, highest dosage, twice a day. It’s incredibly expensive and difficult for insurance to cover. Anyway... in case someone finds this on their IBS search: if you have a legitimate fear of having diarrhea on yourself in public on a frequent basis, you have a disability. People get
DAS for anxiety all of the time, but this is anxiety that among other things can cause you to have a horrible accident. If other kind hearted folks experienced it for even 5 minutes, they wouldn’t hesitate to agree you are eligible.
