I actually feel bad posting this as I know that there a few people who have trouble with their families "believing" their
IBS. But I just have to share.

Tonight my step mom called me to ask me what my grandma should make at our Easter Brunch in two weeks.
She has told my step mom to tell me that whatever I need made is fine! Omigosh! It is so nice!

On the one hand I feel bad for asking them to make me something special, but on the other very happy that they
are taking this seriously. It is so nice of them. She is gonna make me some salmon and potatoes and everything.

And she will make everyone else her usual brunch of deer sausage, sauerkraut perogies with cream of mushroom sauce,
pancakes with whipped cream, some hashbrown thingy with cheese and cream of mushroom soup. I love my grandmas
cooking, especially the brunches, but I guess I should be happy with my princess like treatment LOL.

I am sorry if this bothers those of you who has family troubles, I truly never meant to seem as though I am
rubbing your noses in this post. I just truly wanted to share with you all because you all understand how
difficult it is to go to peoples houses and try to figure out a way not eat their food without offending them.

Dear Princess, (just kidding...lol)

I think that's great! I'm so happy for you! No one should feel bothered for your happiness, and if they do, they've got problems! Isn't that what we're always telling each other anyway? If others don't understand you or want to help, forget about 'em? I know what you mean though. Sometimes I feel guilty for feeling great, but I want to share, but I don't want to make others who aren't feeling great right now feel worse.

Have a great time at Easter Brunch...good luck avoiding the temptations of grandma's other good cooking, the unsafe stuff! LOL Hope you have a great time. Let us know how you make out.

WOW! That is WONDERFUL! I'm so happy for you that your fam. is so supportive!! (Please don't feel bad btw for posting this...just because our fams don't understand that doesn't mean we can't live vicariously through you.... seriously, I'm very happy for you despite how my fam feels about my IBS. It's VERY hard to find people that understand/care enough to be accepting (sometimes without real understanding) of IBS--good for you! Enjoy the brunch--feel good!

Happy Tuesday!

That is so awesome!!! I am attending our family's easter dinner as well, I was just going to call my mom and ask if I could help or bring a few dishes of my own. I know she will appreciate the help, and I will get something I can eat safely.

Oh thank goodness no one is offended - I was just so excited about my grandma doing this for me. I think the biggest reason was because my mom was always sick and my grandma would say "She's not really sick - just looking for attention" I was scared my grandma would think the same of me, but she isn't at all.

Thank you everyone for assuring me it's ok to share our happiness LOL

I will keep you posted

Well I had actually said to my stepmom that I feel bad that my grandma has to make some special for JUST me!

Maybe she wouldn't mind cooking for all of us! Then she wouldn't have to just make a special meal for me! LOL

See you all there!

Hi Lana,
I am very happy for you too (wish my parents were that understanding) The good thing is that my parents were debating on whether to have ham or turkey for easter. There was quite a debate, but in the end, turkey won (woo-hoo) lol. Happy Easter

I am actually surprised how many people don't understand our "problem". It must be very frustrating. I guess I should consider myself very blessed to have such an understanding family and husband (also family, don't get me wrong LOL)

I don't know how I could handle the problem if I had to be in some of your situations, I honestly and truly feel for you all. I have been racking my brain - trying to think of a way to make your families and doctors to understand our IBS, but I have still come up blank. All I can say is - Keep your chins up and we are all here for you, consider us your supportive family!

Lana,
thanks for being so supportive to me, and for reminding all of us with not so supportive families, that we all have an "IBS family" right here . It's so nice to know that when no body understands, you guys do! . Before I found the IBS board at the ibs self help site, i thought i was the only person in the world with this head case syndrome. I was always so depressed and had see no reason to live on with the pain. If it wasnt for the boards, heathers wonderful information and support from all IBS members, i can guarentee you Id still be in constant pain and distress. During the pain time, though, I really got spiritual and found myself close and spending time with God. I truley beleive that he guided me here for self help. With my religion and member support, I'm on my way to happy valley, because even when my ibs flares, i know it will pass, and i know that everything is gonna be alright.
I love you all!
