I am posting this now at my most ascerbic. I spent days cleaning and cooking for a dinner party last night (I will post some recipes on the recipe board soon) and I am just exhausted, but today I had to go to dinner to the in-laws! I don't really get how after 9 months of telling my mother-in-law about my diet she gave NO consideration to making anything I could eat. I just can't believe it. When I host parties I put so much effort into making everybody satisfied that I go crazy with work and cost etc and that is why I literally feel jet-lagged today. I just get so sick of dealing with the diet around people. Basically I feel I could easily turn into one of those crazy people who never leaves the house and has a ton of cats! I had so little interest in going there tonight that I just couldn't keep my irritation in check. And being around the brother and sister in law and kids is too much too (especially with a headache!). Urgh. Luckily I brought some leftover aloo gobhi stuffing which I could eat and there was green beans and mushrooms with not too much oil and I had a luna bar for dessert. But it is so annoying to watch people eat the good stuff. I can't help getting crabby at them pitying me AND i get mad at them giving me no attention too. Although the good news is I wasn't bloated, gassy or gurgly and it is not that I want to cheat or worse; it is just that being out and around people is more trouble than it is worth!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
