I was over at these friends' place again this past weekend, and they were making steaks and those commercial twice-baked potatoes for dinner. They were kind enough to make me chicken and rice. While we were eating, the husband looks at me and says, "so why can't you eat the potatoes?" I said because they have cheese in them. He gives me this bemused look and says, "wow, you're really anal retentive with this diet. I couldn't do it". While "easy for you to say" was right on the tip of my tongue, my friend beat me to it and said, "it's not a choice - she has IBS – if she cheats on this diet she gets sick".
So at least she's finally starting to come around!

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
