I understand completely. I have a friend who also announces to everyone everytime a bunch of us go out to eat "that I have IBS and have had it for years!" Then I watch her dip whole wheat bread in olive oil, eat a huge salad, and then a greasy fat-ladden pasta dish. Then just when I think I can't stand it another momemt, she orders dessert---usually cheesecake---and drinks coffee.
Of course, this makes me look like a big whiner when I say I can't eat such-and-such because I have IBS. She just laughs and says, "Oh, I just take my medicine twice a day--and eat what I want." (She takes Bentyl.)
I just can't figure this out! Could someone have IBS, take Bentyl twice a day, eat like that and be fine? Did I mention that she's as thin as a stick.
Sometimes I watch her eat and I hate her! Sorry, but I know a lot of you can understand where my anger comes from. It's just not FAIR.
