Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I totally understand what you're going through, with building a house (yes very stressful) and the family's eating habits. My mother's idea of a good diet is only buying 2 containers of light (not non fat) sour cream rather than 3 at one time. She's coming to visit this weekend and I can't imagine what she's going to think of the way I eat. I plan to have nice, low fat meals, but also plan on getting a lot of criticism about them. The ironic thing is that she's overweight, claiming that no diet works. Duh, she has no clue as to what a low-fat diet really is. I wonder what she'll say when I tell her that the 2 TB of butter she just put on her potato has 22 grams of fat......lol. The American diet is so fat full and accepted these days it's no wonder we have so much heart disease. My husband says he'll probably live longer due to my new diet. His cholesterol already dropped 20 points. Now if I could just get him to stop eating candy and desserts at work........lol.
