its so hard to get my mom to understand my ibs, if she wants to go out to a restaurant and i dont want to go cause im unsure of my trigger foods yet, she gets upset and she wont go at all, and she makes me feel like im keeping her from going with my twin, and i know she doesnt mean to make me feel that way but she keeps doing it. Or if we're invited over someones house, and i say no, she'll say 'take an immodium', its not that easy, she doesnt understand that it dont help half the time and the embarrassment of having to run to someone elses bathroom, or when the pain gets soo bad sometimes u feel like youre gonna pass out. shes even said well go and dont eat, but i asked her how she'd like going to someones house and having everyone else eat around her and she cant, it sucks.. i have to explain to her all the time that its a long process of figuring out trigger foods and pain management etc.. how else can i get her to understand without arguing with her anymore?
