I am reading all your posts and smiling ear to ear!!! I am SOOOOOOOOO right there with all of you. My family, (husband and 3 kids), think farting is one of the funniest things ever created! My friends are very supportive too. In the beginning, they all made sure to fart in front of me at least once so I wouldn't feel bad. They even wanted to have a burrito party! My best friend doesn't have IBS but her gassy episodes are worse than mine!
On the serious side though, my therapist and I have spoken about possible phobias that can develop because of this condition. I'm not dealing with that, but I am close to being so afraid to eat anything for fear of a painful attack. I am incredibly dedicated to the diet, but still have episodes. I haven't figured it out yet, but I am determined to hang in there.
I don't hesitate to share my condition with anyone, if it comes up. I have found that people are very compassionate once they understand what's going with me. That makes one aspect of IBS a little bit easier to deal with.
