Well it's great to find out I'm not the only one suffering with parcopresis. As you can all be sure you felt you were the only ones too.

I literally cannot go anywhere except my home, and then only if I can ensure the door is locked. It's a huge problem especially as I'm lactose intolerant and yet I enjoy dairy products quite a bit. That leaves me with chronic gas, bloating and diarrhoea sometimes trapped in my gut for up to 16 hours. Exceptionally painful.

I once refused to use the loo at camp for 2 weeks due to the fact I couldn't lock the door and thus ensure privacy. Let me tell ya 3 meals a day and two weeks, by the end it just comes out anyway....at the wrong time and definately te wrong place. So to this day if I can't evacuate before I leave the house in the morning...well I just don't go until I'm home again.

I even used to leave work which was a 90 minute commute, saying I didn't feel good and not return for the whole day. Mind you I only did this a few times as it could have cost me my job.

I sometime have fantasies about building a portable loo bunker on wheels so I can tow it to wherever I need to be. Sometimes if I'm lucky I can find a private public loo, but the loos in Canada have these massive gaps in the door and walls. It offers no sound, sight or odour privacy. The best loos are in Sweden. Typically the stalls go floor to ceiling.

Has anybody had any success with hypnosis?
