As a person with Crohn's, I have to say that I have never had someone deny me use of the restroom, even without the card from the CCFA (Chron's Colitis Foundation of America). I would be horrified if someone did deny me use. I can attest to the fact that it's very painful and you have to go NOW when you have to go. You do read a lot of these types of stories on Crohn's support newsgroups and bulletin boards. I do live in fear of that situation and I suppose I could wear Depends, but I don't know that even Depends could uhhhh... accomodate the Crohn's. If I know I'm going somewhere without an easily accessible restroom, I just don't eat that day, to avoid the risk. I also know, in every store I frequent, exactly where the restrooms are and the first thing I do when I walk into a new public place is locate them. I love WalMart because they have TWO .. one at the front of the store and one in the back. I don't go to Meijer's if I've eaten because they only have one in the front of the store. I'm surprised she could wait up to ten minutes...
I don't wish Crohn's on anybody, except that manager....
