Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I have friends who do understand.. Proven by their calling me last night from the pizza place they were eating at with DH... it was his night out with the guys but some ofthe other women had come along for once.... and saying either bring a sandwich or eat before I came, they just wanted to see me... and if I didn't mind not eating with them, they'd love to have me join them BEFORE we went to the realtor appt... so I went and had a ball..even though nothing but water went into my mouth!! They do the same when we all eat together... they'll tell me what they are making if they are hosting and if I can't eat anything, politely ask what can be made for me, or suggest I bring something for myself... which I am fine with! And when they eat at my house they know they'll either get yummy food I can eat or Bill will grill or smoke and put something on for me as well as them.

It works well, but they are a close group of friends we do things with a lot, and food is far from a priority at the meetings!
