Ya know, I lose my patience with this kind of crap, family/friends or not. You don't have to explain, just simply say, "No, thank you", and let them think what they like and say what they will. If they start again just simply but a bit more firmly say, "NO THANK YOU!" It really is their problem, not yours. You don't owe anyone a detailed explanation about how or what you eat.
I have gotten this crap with some family and friends since I became a vegetarian. I stopped arguing and explaining. Now, I simply say no and then I give them my stare. Shuts the idiots right up! How you choose to eat, whether it be IBS friendly or whatever is your business. People have to learn to tend their own garden, and not worry about other people's.
