Yeah, I have the same problem. I just don't talk about it anymore. Period. My family actually is really nice about it and they totally understand that if I'm not talking about it voluntarily, it means I don't want to discuss it.
My in-laws, on the other hand ... ahhh, that's another story! They are very sweet and sympathetic but they get everything wrong! I am a D and they are always asking me if I have tried Zelnorm. I can't even talk to them without them asking about my latest doctor's visit. At a large gathering, my husband's aunt told everyone that I wasn't eating because I couldn't eat sugar! I don't know WHERE she got that! I think that was when I decided that I Give Up. It's just not worth it.
I am also a very private person, so I understand how embarrassing it is when it feels like the whole world knows about your bowel habits! I guess there is not much you can do other than shrug and move on, and try to remember that, as awful as you find it, they are really trying to be helpful.
The bad part is that sometimes when people are trying to be helpful, you just really wanna kick 'em in the teeth.
