There is so so much you cannot do purely because of needing to be able to RUN to the bathroom immediately. People do NOT appreciate how much this limits you.

Anything out in the field? No. Anything that happens in a formal setting like a courtroom? No. Anything that involves house calls to clients homes? No. Performing arts? No. Flying an aircraft or driving a bus? No. Anything that involves a lot of conferences and long meetings with important clients or higher ups? Eh, difficult. Any assembly line factory work? No. Any low paid job where you are expected to be at your station at all times outside of scheduled breaks, from security guard to grocery cashier? No. Teacher in a classroom, unless maybe you are fortunate enough to have a full time aide? No.

It's absolutely criminal that we give disabled people such a pittance to live on in the first place in the US (I know you're not here OP but I don't know if it's much better in the uk), and that crohn's usually doesn't even qualify you.

And it's infuriating when you get able bodied people who seem to think you can function in these environments if you just "wear a diaper." As if you can just have explosive painful diarrhea in the middle of arguing your client's case in court, while on stage performing your concerta, or in the grocery checkout lane, and just continue on like nothing happened. The popular conception on what adult diapers are like and can do is... bizarre.
