I ate lunch at a deli yesterday, and I sat and watched all the people around me piling up things at the salad bar. I couldn't help but STARE at the woman sitting next to me who had a plate piled with:
raw spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, red onions, potato salad, pasta salad, cole slaw, bacon, cheese---all topped with a creamy Ranch dressing.
It looks so heavy and full of IBS triggers that my stomach was hurting just looking at it!
I felt so out of place. There must have been 20 customers around me, all eating like this---and I thought to myself, "Why can't I eat like this?"
I used to---and just took it for granted.
I wanted to shake this people and scream, "Do you know how lucky you are? You can eat whatever you want, it goes through your colon and out the other end---with no commotion or any thought on your part."
Gosh, if my teenage son had known what I was thinking, he would've been embarrassed!
(By the way, I ordered a turkey sandwich on French bread, and had Baked Lays chips---and I was so nervous that I might not survive the shopping trip with my son. Urgent D did hit me later, but thank goodness, it was after I had dropped my son off at a friend's house ---and I made it to a Burger King where I found a restroom in time.)
I get so mad that everyone else can eat what I would like to---and they don't have a problem.

Does anyone else get jealous?
