I hope you're feeling better tonight! The cold, stress, staying out too late - these all get me cramping up.
I know what you mean about drawing boundaries and explaining to family and friends about dietary needs. But it's not your fault - you're not being picky or difficult - and I'm sure your bf's family wouldn't want to do something that would make you feel bad. Don't stress too much and please don't feel guilty. At least one of your meals will be somewhat safe.
Are you IBS-D? If so, have you considered taking an Imodium in the morning as a preventive? Also, are you drinking any tea to help with the pain or attacks? You could take some with you - I'd recommend having a cup of peppermint or chamomile tea before the meals and after. Depending on how I'm feeling tomorrow morning, this is what I'm planning on doing. I'm also going to throw on one of those sticky heat patches to keep my abdomen warm all day.
I wish you the best! Good luck at both your holiday dinners.
