Don't be embarassed, we all go through that same scenario. I just went through the same situation when I had Bunco the other night. I just told them I can't eat fat any longer. when they pressed me, I was frank. So now everyone knows I have IBS, most had no idea what it was anyway. The more people that know about it, the more likely they are to be sensitive when they do hear someone is sick with an IBS attack. I wonder what my mom will say when she gets here on Saturday! I'm also on the low side of my weight, I know it but there's nothing I'm going to do about it, as you know, we CAN'T. Remember, others have their flaws and disorders, most of the time we just don't know about them.
Yes, it is upsetting that IBS is something you're diagnosed with when they can't find anything "really" wrong with you.
It does not give it validity to others.
