People are just ill-informed when it comes to IBS. Some don't know their elbows from... well you know the other end of the body!
I get this all the time:
"I bet you can't eat it." OR
"Can you eat this chicken FRIED STEAK" (like a double oh no)
"I'll fix you a salad." Poo on that
"When's the baby due"  I'm NOT PREGNANT, CRAZY!!
My stepmother-in-law's favorite is: "I made lasagna for supper; oh, but I made you a piece of plain baked chicken, and didn't put ANY marinade on it." 
It's hard for me to digest chicken. About the only meat (protein) I can eat is fish. We are going to eat over there tonight for his dad's father's day meal, and of course, she is fixing lasagna. The most fatty thing she could think of to cook, not to mention the four different cheeses and ground beef in it, too.  She understand's that I can't eat certain things, especially cheeses, and I don't expect her to change everything for me. However, as many times as I've told her I CANT DO SALAD ALONE!!!! She still insists on me eating a salad with no rice or anything. Ugghh. I always eat to much over there cause she will fix like 10 different things and keep putting them in my face. Then the next day, I'm miserable.
I cooked salmon and rice last night, I might just take a plate of that with me. I just hate being the center of attention when it comes to food. "Why aren't you eating what we are eating; why are you eating that?"
I would just rather not go anywhere to eat besides my own kitchen where I know what I can eat and be comfortable fixing my own food.
When I have friends over, I cook IBS friendly foods, and they can't tell the difference.
