sadly some people just don't understand.. I am lucky that my MIL is a retired nurse.. and my FIL took care of his mom through a LOT of health issues, which puts both of them in a more understanding position... my sister understands because she's seen it up close and personal with me for years.. and yet my mom who has Crohn's doesn't understand- but then she just thinks I'm making it up since its not as bad as what she has.. though I am actually ALLERGIC to dairy and she still doesn't get that one either... she keeps trying to get me to eat lactose free stuff and doesn't understand that its cassein and whey that cause me to get hives and other issues...
