Hey Beth,

Vent away!! That's why we're here! While I can't sympathize with your endo situation, I sympathize with the IBS! My family doesn't eat "cassandra food" they just make sure there is something I can eat, and I used to have to cook for myself most of the time at home. Now with my DH I make mostly safe foods for dinner anyways and then I'll make him pork chops, steak, etc while I have chicken breast. He doesn't mind as much as my dad did while I was at home. I think it bothered him I was sick, but he made it like it was my fault that I couldn't eat something. His loss, not mine.

I also sympathize with the "you're always sick" line. It sucks. My family and bosses aren't bad, but some of my friends are. They just don't understand and probably never will. Yeah, we have health problems at a young age (I turned 31 today), but we're still human! And it's not like it is our choice!

Anyways, I wish you well, good luck at graduation, and keep your chin up!!
