I've been reading this thread and have heard a lot of the same from my family - you're always sick, can't you get better, you're faking it, etc.
I think the most hurtful thing that anyone has said is that I refuse to eat something because I could have an attack. My DH once said I should try just a little piece of steak. I said but no, I could have an attack. He said, yeah, or you could not. I still refused. He just doesn't understand how debilitating an attack is.
Generally my family is very good about my ibs. I am VERY fortunate that way. I think deep down my mum and grandma have a mild case of ibs as well because their stomaches go loopy on them too.
I'm glad we all have each other's shoulder to lean on. We all understand what each other is feeling because we know first hand.
God bless you all!
