It's my bday this week! But I had to have the discussion about my stomach issue(s) when they asked me why I wouldn't be eating ice cream at my little (new) office party.
I've only been here 2 weeks and I'm already outed as a stelth sickie!

Oh really? I always told work people that I had a sensitive stomach and it ended there. Did you actually tell them you have ibs?

I told them I had stomach problems when I ate and took medication for it. They see me popping pills so at least it offered them an explanation...!

That's a really easy way to put it without offering too much information! Sounds like you've had practice...

Happy birthday! How are you going to celebrate?
Oh yes - the tummy talk. It sounds like you handled it well! If I don't say anything, people assume I'm on a diet. I don't like to talk about it in detail, but it's usually enough if I just explain I have a bowel disorder .

Ugh....that's the worst.
At least you've said what you have to say about your tummy problems and it's over and done with.
It's never fun having to explain this stuff though.
