Believe me darling - I understand what you are going through. I have had IBS for 14 years (diagnosed). My family is just beginning to understand what I go through everyday. I think it took for me getting really sick again this Feb and nearly hospitalized for weight loss for them to realize that I'm not a picky eater, I'm not faking it, it's not in my head, etc.
I can suggest you tell your family to read posts on this site, if you have the hypno cd's there is also a cd for family, friends and care givers. (I haven't listened to it myself, but Michael Mahoney's hypno cds are awesome and work for me.)
I know it is hard to make someone else understand what you are going through. After 8 years together my husband finally does - he had a bout of something earlier last year and totally can sympathize with me now.
I hope things improve for you!!
HUGS!
