I have gone through a tantrum or two (or three or four...) because of IBS. I've cried, I've screamed, I've felt like I was going to explode!! There're nothing pretty about IBS that's for sure.
Here's my advice:
Try switching to a caplet fiber supplement if drinking makes you gag.
Keep a food diary. Maybe you can find a pattern of what's setting you off.
Maybe try getting some more insoluble in your diet to help move things along. I say maybe, because I'm not sure how much you do get. Try Heather's strawberry banana smoothie...SO GOOD!! Plus, you can mix the fruit up. This is a great way to up your insoluble.
And next time I wouldn't put up with an attitude from a server. Who the hell does that bitch think she is anyway? That's what she's getting paid for. I hope you didn't leave her a good tip. And if you don't want to make a scene, definetly sneak off to tell the manager. Or write or call and tell them now. Maybe it will make you feel better to vent on them.
And I wouldn't feel bad about upsetting your friends if you can't eat somewhere. I'm sure you wouldn't feel bad if they were the ones that couldn't eat and you had to make the adjustments for them. I mean, isn't that what friends are for? And they obviously care about you to want to take you out for nice birthday.
Happy Belated Birthday too! Hope you're feeling better soon. BTW: How did you feel after being BAD, or haven't you found out yet? Did it affect you at all? Just curious....
