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! ~nelly~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Had to have the Tummy Talk!       #259887 - 04/24/06 01:07 PM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 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?

They see me popping pills so at least it offered them an explanation...! ~nelly~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Oh ya and....       #259895 - 04/24/06 01:23 PM Edit Reply Quote TommyNY Reged: 04/29/04 Posts: 1530 Happy Birthday Nelly.

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 .

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.
