Well...       05/14/06 03:19 PM Edit Reply Quote hohoyumyum Reged: 05/28/03 Posts: 2263 Loc: SacTown, CA I don't bother trying to get most people to understand but for the few people who are close to me and I need to understand I have found that being brutally honest is the best way to go. Being a D, I can use phrases like "explosive diarrhea," "life-long dysfunction," and "why can't I take a s**t like a normal person?" Trying to be polite just doesn't work for it. But, I would guess that you probably don't want to say things like that to your mom. So, I would suggest having her read "IBS: The First Year" if she hasn't and have her talk to GI docs and even have her come on here and talk to some of us. And definately be up front with her about stuff. If she makes you feel bad, tell her, and tell her why. And don't feel bad for having to bail out on or change plans because of IBS. What's most important is that you take care of you. -------------------- *********************** If you're not dead, you've still got time. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
