I know exactly what you are going through. While my hubby & children understand (they see my with my attacks), my parents & father-in-law still think I'm on some new kind of diet. They don't understand and probably never will. I too have had to back out of family events due to the IBS (my niece's graduation for one).

When going to anyone's house I usually bring my own food. That way I can eat with everyone else and still have something safe. Restaurants are another matter and I usually just don't eat. We were at a family reunion last weekend and everyone was wondering why I wasn't eating, so I explained many, many times that I have IBS & certain dietary restrictions and that I don't eat unless I know the food is safe for me. It's better that way.

Hang in there! When you need support that you aren't getting elsewhere, just logon here - we'll help you. Have a good day!
