My mother thinks that I dieted myself so much that I got IBS. I never dieted! I started getting sick from fatty foods a while back and whenever I avoided them, she thought I was on a diet. It's amazing how some people always find a way to blame you for every sickness you get. My religious people say that I get sick because of my sins. It makes me angry. My sister gets mad when I mention lactose intollerance over the table. She gets irritated and tells me not to mention it because people will think I am weird. And she is 30 years old! I hate it when people get offended when I tell them I can't eat their dish. They don't believe my reason and take it personally, thinking that I am a snob. Agh!
-------------------- IBS-C since 2006. No signs of IBS now, it's been 4 yrs. Only dairy allergy now.
