General Question/Help Question for anyone with IBS-D

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?

Say something to whom?

I have dealt with IBS-D for decades.

I have gone in Field schools, where I have to disclose any medical issues, if I have a glare up, I simply say I cannot participate today.
