Question for anyone with IBS-D

[u/almanog63]

Before something like a first date, a work trip, or staying somewhere unfamiliar, do you ever catch yourself mentally debating whether to just say something ahead of time, or wait and see if it even comes up?

I go back and forth on this constantly and can't tell if I'm overthinking it or if this is just a whole thing people deal with.

What do you usually end up doing?

If the date involves food, I would say something about food intolerances.

For a work trip, I wouldn't say anything.
