I can 100% relate to you! My family, as well as my husbands family are all big eaters, and they DONT have IBS... Theyre favorite hobby is in fact eating. Theyre always asking me to go places and vacations with them, and i always say no, because they just dont understand. They always stop at mcdonalds and then go on the highway (with no bathrooms at all in miles) and they cant understand why i dont want to go with them. Sometimes, I do miss out though. For instance, my husbands going on a family reunion. For dinner, they are planning on have fried chicken, potato salad, soda and lots of other unsafe things. I try to bring my own food but they always stick up their noses at me. So now I just rather stay home. My husband understands, but no one else does. So when they ask, I just say that im not feeling well enough to go on a long trip.. no questions ask.. its so hard for me to make people understand.

Re: How do I convince family members that I do not want to go on vacation with them due to IBS problems?
