I've tried, mom kept trying to tell me that dairy was an issue in my head until I'd broken out in hives and could use an allergy... and she can't understand why fatty foods or salads would be issues... its kinda funny.. she'll pull out my obvious triggers, but ignore the stuff about soluble fiber working.. and then keep trying to tell me that if I cut out the carbs I'd feel better - no I feel better WITH them! I've given up.. my MIL is a retired nurse, and if we are going and she is serving something I can't she'll either put something else on for me or ask me to bring something I can eat... not a big deal... and Bill's dad is the same way when he's in town... whereas mom complains when I offer to cook in her kitchen at all, much less make soemthing I can have... she was upset that I brought a box of cereal and rice milk with me when we visited last time! I have just decided it isn't worth arguing with her over and to try my best when we are with them.. I doubt we'll go visit them in GA anytime soon and my sister is great with my dietary needs.. and we'll be at her house... for the babies bris- knowing her she'll just be happy to have me take over the kitchen if I want... especially because she'll have a new baby to deal with.. we won't be staying with them, but still..
