i saw on the program embarasing bodies,a lady with ibs was given a card to be able to use any toilet.it stated that it was not infectious and they had to let her use any toilet even if they only had staff toilets.

By being a member of ibs network. A card is then sent in the post. This has helped when in service stations, show your card, then a key is given for the toilet. A radar key. This opens disability toilets when there are massive ques in the everyday toilets. Also the radar key is what opens toilets that are locked. I know you can buy them online. I've contacted my council and you can buy them half the price through your local council office. Honestly the card from being a member and paying yearly price, has been great the card has been in great use. Being a member on here has been a massive help too ;)

Just a side note that they don't 'have' to let you use their toilets though, regardless of whether you have the card. It's simply a way to encourage them to allow you without having to have a lengthy public conversation! Certainly in the UK, the majority of shops will still say no due to their health and safety policies.
