Hi Minnie,
I'm sorry that your mother-in-law doesn't understand. I have to tell you though, most people who don't have intestinal problems just aren't really able to understand it.  I can understand that you are upset and I would be too. Try not to take it too personally, though. My husband is a doll and he still can't remember what I can't eat. Its too confusing for him, especially since he can eat everything. He brought home a scone to share yesterday and I told him I couldn't eat it, I can't have gluten besides the high fat. He's an engineer, not a nurse like me. I do almost all the shopping to make sure that I get what I need.
I always take food with me when I go to someone's house just in case, out of experience. This weekend I have a party to go to and I asked my friend what she is making. She is making chicken in a cream sauce over rice and asked me if I could eat it and she knows me very well. I told her not to worry, I would just bring my own food. Its just easier for me that way. I will bring my own chicken dish and rice and some veggies and salad with low fat dressing. One time I went to friends house for a party and there was absolutely nothing there for me to eat. I was pretty upset about it.  I don't take any chances now.
My feelings are more about feeling different and not being able to eat what everyone else is eating. It makes me sad sometimes.  I really miss dairy foods,especially ice cream.
Take care,
June
