sadly some people just don't understand.. I am lucky that my MIL is a retired nurse.. and my FIL took care of his mom through a LOT of health issues, which puts both of them in a more understanding position... my sister understands because she's seen it up close and personal with me for years.. and yet my mom who has Crohn's doesn't understand- but then she just thinks I'm making it up since its not as bad as what she has.. though I am actually ALLERGIC to dairy and she still doesn't get that one either... she keeps trying to get me to eat lactose free stuff and doesn't understand that its cassein and whey that cause me to get hives and other issues...

one day when you're feeling better we'll have you over and I'll get Bill to smoke us a turkey or something... we do that 2-3 times a year so I can process the leftovers into the freezer for the next few months- yummy safe broth from the carcass, shredded turkey meat to put in quick meals... and that sort of stuff...

My BF's family is just wonderful, his mom even makes a separate plate for me w/ibs safe versions of what everyone else is having (mashed potatoes w/no dairy, ground turkey instead of ground beef/pork). But MY family just doesn't get it. They all think I'm crazy for eating tofu & drinking soy milk. They only eat "real food" & try to get me to eat it when I visit. So I don't visit very often. When I went for Thanksgiving my dad kept trying to get me to eat the ham he made, then got offended when I told him (for the 3rd-4th time) that I can't eat ham. They drive me nuts. Except for my mom, she's the best! She has alzheimers so I constantly have to remind her about my IBS, and she always says, "Oh sweetie I am so sorry you have to deal w/that" then asks me if I want a cup of coffee! LOL! She's so cute when she forgets. But they're my family & I gotta love them, well, at least deal w/them anyway!

We ought to have a big convention with IBS friendly foods and anyone who doesn't understand can take a long walk off a short pier!
Sorry - we hijacked your thread!! Let's get you back on the Christmas menu topic!!
I like the long walk off a short pier bit. Good idea. No worries about the hijacking. It's just the line of conversation.

we like to entertain sometimes... and it makes an excuse for cooking large quantities and variety to freeze the leftovers of for when I'm in school or even now just plain don't have time to cook!

her hubby is wonderful about my diet.. and since she doesn't like some of the stuff he and Bill like, he makes 2 meals when we come over often, so he can make something for us (safe for me and she likes too) and something for the menfolk!
it works out well...
