I have a friend who claims to have IBS, yet when we go out, she has a few drinks, fried tortilla chips and artichoke and cheese dip, red meat and dairy desserts! She doesn't understand why I cannot eat what I want teven though I have IBS. She claims she can eat whatever and at times have problems. I told her that I am into preventing any problems so I am careful about what I eat. It can be so frustrating and yes I'd like to strangle her at times too! leah
