How to communicate more sympathy and concern for people wth irritable bowel syndrome

People who have irritable bowel disorder recieve very little sympathy from others. If other people had stomach aches often or couldn't do what they had planned to do on any given day because they have diarrhea would they be more compassionate for those who have irritable bowel disorder? It seems others don't understand what others are coping with. Shouldn't there be groups for people who suffer from IBS sp we could offer each other understanding and comfort? I say YES! We need to teach others to be more forgiving toward us when we don't meet their expectations.
